Although the single shooter scenario may be the most likely, don't forget about the possibility of a multiple shooter attack. In which case you might be telling them to run from your protection, and worst-case scenario right into a premeditated trap.
No professional here, but as a carrying citizen my initial thought is I'm not playing hero until my family/friends are safely escorted out, obviously taking down the bad guy if I have a shot. Also since I don't have a badge hunting said bad guy while LE is responding sounds like bad news. Although my action would vary on location/ anticipated LE response.
