You are talking a highly stressed, chaotic, loud, dangerous situation. Chances are it will probably be over by the time the first responding officer is on scene, unless they have officers on scene at the onset for that location. It is sad to say, but in that situation you are not guaranteed to have the most seasoned, accurate officer on scene. You will have every available officer responding and may encounter a non gun guy, who rides a desk and in holsters his pistol on qual days. Every year I see someone in active shooter training who "shoots" another known responding officer before they realize it was a good guy.
Bottom line, you are taking a great risk that only you can make.
