Sgt. Robert Sanchez shows a large three-hole punch April 25, 2013, at the Springdale Police Department. The punch can be used as a blunt weapon which can disrupt an attacker. Sanchez and Cpl. Mike Hignite taught a community class about how to respond to an active shooter. Some techniques include how to barricade a door and stalling for time until police arrive to assist.
