Claim 5:
6. A safe room assembly facilitating an occupant to be protected from bullets from firearms and other forms of attack, said assembly comprising:
a room in a building having an entry thereby facilitating the occupant to enter said room, each of a plurality of walls of said room being comprised of a bullet resistant material thereby protecting the occupant from bullets fired from outside of said room when the occupant is in said room wherein said room is configured to protect the occupant from an active shooter, said room having a viewing element being integrated into said entry, said viewing element facilitating light to pass into said room wherein said viewing element is configured facilitate the occupant to see the active shooter, said viewing element inhibiting light from passing out of said room wherein said viewing element is configured to inhibit the active shooter from seeing the occupant, said entry extending through a respective one of said walls of said room, said entry having a bounding edge having a vertical side;
a door having a front surface, a back surface and a lateral edge extending between said front surface and said back surface, said lateral edge being hingedly coupled to said vertical side of said bounding edge of said entry, said door closing said entry when said door is closed, said door exposing said entry when said door is opened, said door being comprised of a bullet resistant material, said door having a viewing opening extending through said front surface and said back surface, said viewing opening being centrally, positioned on said door, said viewing opening being elongated between a top and a bottom of said viewing opening, said door having a pair of defense slots each extending through said front surface and said back surface thereby facilitating the occupant to extend a weapon through a respective one of said defense slots wherein said defense slots are configured to facilitate the occupant to fire the weapon toward the active shooter, each of said slots being positioned laterally from a respective longitudinal side of said viewing opening;
a lock being integrated into said door, said lock engaging said bounding edge of said entry when said door is closed for locking said door, said lock being positioned on said back surface of said door such that said lock is only accessible to the occupant when said door is closed;
a two way mirror being integrated into said viewing opening in said door such that said two way mirror defines said viewing element of said entry, said two way mirror being comprised of a bullet resistant material wherein said two way mirror is configured to inhibit the active shooter from shooting through said two way mirror, said two way mirror being oriented to pass light traveling from said back surface of said door toward said front surface of said door, said two way mirror being oriented to reflect light traveling toward said front surface of said door;
a communication unit being positioned within said room thereby facilitating the occupant to employ said communication unit, said communication unit including a microphone and a speaker, said communication unit contacting emergency responders when said communication unit is actuated thereby facilitating two way communication between occupant and the emergency responders, said communication unit being in wired communication with an extrinsic communication network thereby facilitating said communication unit to place a phone call to local 911 when said communication unit is actuated, said communication unit being electrically coupled to a power source comprising an electrical system of said building, said communication unit including:
a housing being mounted to a respective one of said walls of said room such that said housing is positioned within said room, said housing having a front face being exposed with respect to said respective wall, said housing being positioned at a height being sufficiently low thereby facilitating a person of average height to access said housing; and
an actuate button being movably integrated into said front face of said housing thereby facilitating the occupant to depress said actuate button when the occupant wishes to contact the emergency responders, said communication unit being actuated to place the phone call to local 911 when said actuate button is depressed thereby facilitating said speaker to emit the words spoken by the emergency responders and facilitating said microphone to capture words spoken by the occupant;

a display being positioned in said room such that said display is visible to the occupant, said display being in communication with a surveillance network in said building thereby facilitating said display to display imagery comprising streaming video of an interior of said building such that the occupant can view the streaming video, said display being electrically coupled to said power source comprising said electrical system of said building; and
a weapons locker being positioned in said room for storing weapons, said weapons locker having a pair of doors each swinging in opposing directions on a front side of said weapons locker for accessing an interior of said weapons locker, said weapons locker being positioned against a respective one of said walls of said room.
