4. Request from the Consulate General
Please avoid visiting the dangerous area where the incident has already occurred and stay updated with the latest information through news sources. In case you find yourself in a similar situation, follow these steps:
If gunfire is heard nearby, immediately “take cover” (standing increases the risk of being shot). Look for a chance to safely evacuate.
If gunfire is heard at a distance or you can move, “flee” the area. Remain calm and move to a safe location.
If “fleeing” is not possible, “hide.” Place obstacles between yourself and the assailant and crouch to ensure your safety.
