As someone who works at a college, that question really hits home. I could certainly lock myself in my office and hide behind the cinderblock walls, or I could climb out my window and run for help, but how could I in good conscience leave my student workers and the other folks in the building out there to be slaughtered?
If I wasn't curled up in my closet in terror, I would probably find the most weapon-like thing I could get my hands on and try to get behind the shooter and hit him in the head. I've done self-defense training, but the thought of facing a gun (particularly when wielded by a mentally unstable, suicidal gunman) scares the living bejeezus out of me.
