You're at work or at school, a normal boring day, and you hear gunshots in the hallway outside the door. What would you do?

The gunman in the VA Tech shooting was ID'd as a student from South Korea, an English major. One student in a room he was shooting in survived by playing dead, so he didn't shoot her. She and others in the room then barricaded the door with themselves so he couldn't push through, but he shot through the door. In another classroom they shoved the teacher's desk against the door to block it closed.

What would you do?

I was trying to figure out how I could barricade my classrooms. Some I have desks big enough, some I do not. Some the doors open out into the hallway. Some the windows are big enough to jump out and only one story up, or are above another part of the building so can jump to that. I guess the key is just to take action if a shooter is coming for you, and not just sit there; but if he's left you alone, then you do just sit there.
