Staring down the barrel of a gun, what would you do? Panic? Cry??Run? One never knows until that moment comes. Heaven forbid it should ever happen to you.

At first, it may seem surreal. One of those “Am I really seeing what I’m seeing?” kind of moments.

But then, it dawns on you that this is not a dream. It is a nightmare come to life.

Or, you are one of the few that can tough out the situation and do what needs to be done.
