Obviously I missed that... Sometimes the old bulb is dimmer than other times... :oops:

I've heard very good things about this class and the instructor, but have no first-hand knowledge. Seems that a class entitled "Armed Movement in Structures" would be helpful in answering your (now clearer) question.. Hopefully I'm ok cross posting this from another forum. I have no relationship with this class or the instructor.

Students completing this 20 hour course will leave with skills that allow them to understand and deal with the problems that they may face in a residential or commercial building containing armed bad guys.
The link is to a class announcement for the Tyler, TX area class scheduled for March 2013.
The ShivWorks Armed Movement in Structures (AMIS) course is a twenty hour block of instruction focusing on negotiating movement problems within structures with limited or no resources. Realizing that moving through a structure that contains armed hostiles, perhaps by one’s self, is probably the most dangerous task one can undertake, the best options for winning a confrontation are presented with the qualification that there is no safe way to do this.

First thing that came to my mind. Conspicuously not mentioned in the OP. :mrgreen:
Glad it turned out well..

To answer the OP's question, if I was in the parking garage and had been notified by police that my floor had been taken hostage, there's not much I can do. Offer to help LE communicate through any back channels I might have... Text message, etc... Offer up any information on floor plans and points of access that might be useful. It's unlikely that they'd let me close in a hostage situation.
