The sekrit subtext is that under most circumstances I'd strive to get o-u-t: OUT;
akin to the post above by @NewGuyRay.
Sharing some details with the Best Practices for
Escape and Evasion after getting spotted printing.
(If SWAT is busily covering the entire mall with yellow Police Line tape
like some kind of modern art installation after the kinetics stops,
you don't want to flounce back onto the property
to retrieve your car while you're packing.
You know how the first few hours of news reports on every mass casualty event
include the phrase, "police are searching the area for a second shooter".
God forbid there actually was a second shooter who escaped.
Have some nachos, then give the keys to someone who is unarmed).
Oh, and I'll concede that for all I know it's barely possible that the tiling
mastic'ed onto the bathroom walls could have a minor disrupting effect
on stray external shots of handgun ammo. I've read the Box O' Truth,
and I know it can normally go through 8 walls before lunch time,
but never say never. But given a choice, I'd rather shelter in a shop's
rear storeroom that has a door onto a service corridor or ground-level fire exit.
Especially since those doors probably have peepholes and working locks/latches.
