Killer knockouts in street and bar fights.

Ways to avoid a bar fight:

1. Stay aware: 

The most effective way to avoid a bar fight is by avoiding the possibility altogether. This requires situational awareness.

2. Keep your cool. 

Sometimes you cannot anticipate an aggressive environment from developing. If someone gets in your face, resist the temptation to push back in any way. Do not exchange insults or any physical aggression. Keep a safe distance from the aggressor and be ready to defend your self if attacks you. Never turn your back.

3. Inform security:

When all else fails, talk to security about the instigator. If there is not a security guard, find a bouncer or even the bartender. Bar staff do not want fights and will do what it takes to kick people like this out.

A Seattle Pacific University student managed to subdue a suspected gunman after three people were injured and one killed, during a shooting on campus Thursday afternoon. Police said a man entered Otto Miller Hall with a shotgun and opened fire shortly before 3:30 p.m. The gunman was busy reloading when a student, who was working as the building monitor, confronted and subdued the gunman using pepper spray. "Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them, and they were able to pin the shooter to the ground until police arrived," said Seattle Police Capt. Chris Fowler.
