If it's possible to get out of the building or the immediate area that the murderer is in, this is always preferable to hiding. Assess your location and decide if you would be able to escape to safety.  If others don't want to run with you, leave them behind. You can't let them prevent you from escaping. If you run, don't worry about your belongings. Leave your stuff behind. Be sure to keep your hands visible as you flee the scene. If the police are there already, they may mistake you for the murderer. Run in an erratic pattern. This will make it harder for the murderer to shoot you if he comes after you. Try to put as many obstacles between you and the murderer as possible. If you choose to run, it's important to head for a location that will be safer than the location you just left, just in case the murderer pursues you. While you may just want to get out of there, don't leave without some kind of an idea of where you will go.  If possible, get to a location where you can call for help. A secure location like a police station is the best option, but a neighbor's house is better than nothing. Try to avoid running into your neighbor's house if the murderer is watching you. You don't want to put them in danger as well by leading a murderer into their house. If there is nothing around the area, head for the woods instead of a clearing. This will give you many more places to hide. A full parking lot will also provide lots of good hiding opportunities. In some cases, you may have no choice but to fight back against the murderer. This is generally not a good idea unless your life is in immediate danger, but if it comes to it, do what you need to do to survive.  If you decide to fight, you need to commit to it. A half-hearted attempt at fighting back will only put you in more danger. Your goal should be to disarm and/or incapacitate the murderer, and then run away as fast as possible. If you have a gun, you may want to use this to defend yourself. If not, you may also be able to incapacitate the murderer using pepper spray.  If you have no other option but to attack the murderer with your bare hands, aim for the most vulnerable parts of the body: the throat, the eyes, the groin, and the stomach. If you choose to fight back and you do not have a traditional weapon, look around for ordinary objects that you might be able to use to disarm the murderer or incapacitate them. A good weapon should be easy to use and should be reasonably likely to inflict harm.  You can use a backpack as a shield or to swing at the murderer. You can use an item like a baseball bat, and umbrella, or a large flashlight as a swinging weapon. Any heavy item can be used to knock the murderer unconscious. a chemical fire extinguisher can effectively disable a person if you spray it in his face. If the murderer finds you and it is not possible to escape or fight back (If they have a gun and you only have a baseball bat, for example), it is important to know how to interact with them in order to increase your chances of survival. If the person's primary objective is to steal things or commit another crime, they may not really want to kill you if it's not necessary.  Be as cooperative as you possibly can be. Do what the murderer asks you to do without asking questions. Avoid making eye contact, as this can be seen as threatening. Don't make any sudden movements that the murderer might interpret as you trying to fight. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to run or incapacitate the murderer.
