An American couple, the wife 6-months pregnant, sought refuge at the US Embassy during the terrorist attacks in Paris. They were turned away. Is this standard operating procedure for embassy personnel, lock-down and hide and leave American citizens seeking shelter to fend for themselves? It appears they have implemented the DHS active shooter response protocol, Run, hide, then fight...as a last resort.

Passengers arrive at Atlanta airport safely after Paris ordeal

...In the midst of the chaos that erupted in Paris Friday night, Rebecca Hill-Bogle started to wonder how she and her husband, Will Bogle, were going to get back home to Georgia.

They were in Paris to celebrate Will’s birthday and were having dinner when Will looked at his phone and realized something was going on. The server at their restaurant told them they were about 10 minutes away from one of the deadly explosions that occurred during Friday night’s wave of terrorist attacks in the heart of the city.

“We saw a lot of police and ambulances; they were scurrying through the streets,” Will Bogle said.

The Macon couple tried to get a cab to get back to their hotel, but all the taxis were full.

Hill-Bogle is six months pregnant and she was starting to panic. They decided to walk two miles to the U.S. Embassy, hoping they could take shelter there.

But, her husband said, they were turned away.

“I was pretty disheartened that we weren’t allowed to get in,” he said.
