We’ve all been at a Walmart store and heard the overhead loudspeaker come on and different alerts are announced. Most times you don’t have to take action, although it’s good to pay attention to those alerts just in case there is a real emergency inside the store. If you’re ever walking around doing some shopping in a Walmart store in East Texas and you hear a code brown that means there is a real threat to your safety, as that code indicates an active shooter situation. 

That is the last code you ever want to hear while attempting to collect items during your shopping trip, but it shows you how important it is to be paying attention, it could save your life. If you do ever hear a code brown announced over the loudspeaker, you should leave the building as quickly and calmly as possible while you stay very aware of everything around you.
