Let's say this happens again: You have a gun and hear gunshots. So, instead of sheltering in place or leaving the scene, you start running, gun drawn, toward the action. You come around the corner, see a guy shooting and open fire. The guy you are shooting at turns to shoot at you. You both exchange shots, missing of course because even highly trained federal officers have a relatively low accuracy while firing under pressure. Then you get shot yourself. When it's all said and done, you firing into a crowded area and missing (or even hitting) has created even more casualties. Also, you shot another guy, a "good guy" who was just returning fire from the bad guy. The police show up, since they are in the terminal anyways patrolling in plain clothes and in uniform, and shoot all 3 of you because no one knows who is the good guys.


That sounds like it would have saved a lot of lives.
