A former FBI agent says there are three tactics people can use to improve their chances of escaping if they are held at gunpoint. The outlets report that the agent, who spent about 25 years as a special agent, has faced armed attackers himself and now describes approaches he says helped him get away alive.
The reporting emphasizes personal experience and practical guidance, but it does not present details in the available excerpts about the specific tactics, how they are carried out, or whether they are based on formal training guidance. The two sources provided are effectively the same story with overlapping wording, both attributing the advice to the former FBI agent and framing it as life-saving advice for civilians during a high-risk encounter.
Overall, the accounts agree on the key premise: a former FBI agent discusses escape-oriented tactics for gunpoint situations, drawing on his background and past experiences.
