NEW YORK - The Department of Homeland Security has released a controversial, three-minute video giving everyday office workers a "survival guide" in the event of a mass shooting, CBS New York station WCBS-TV reports.

"This type of incident can happen any day, anywhere across the United States, and people have to be prepared," security expert David Boehm told WCBS-TV.

Coming just weeks after the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and citing the mass shootings at Virginia Tech and attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the video is a step-by-step guide on how to survive an active-shooter situation. Production on the piece actually started before the Newtown massacre.
