I would add, if distance from threat is substantial and you have your mental wits about you, be the beacon and assist others to leave the area. You can save just as many lives by getting people moving as rushing an embedded shooter.
Fight or flight is a thing, but some people lock up/shut down in extreme situations. Something that rarely gets mentioned, someone that looks in control calling out commands will get some people moving in the right direction. If the shooter is North of you, direct people to the Southern exits. Lower the body count without putting yourself at direct risk.
