Hunker down

Hi,

Normal life in the quiet city of East Point, GA comes to a screeching halt when six people become random targets of a mysterious gunman. While police work round the clock to try and catch the killer, locals hunker down in horror wondering who's next?

What does 'hunker down' mean here?

Thank you very much.

By the way, I would not expect the halting of normal life in a quiet city to produce a screech.
