Looks like someone just read Teeth Of The Tiger

Um ... SKS, huh? OK. If I was dumb enough to look and learn that info, then I'm dumb enough to run in front of him. Fortunately I don't have kids, and my wife and I are both in shape. That being said, I'd bet my life (literally, in this case) that I'm faster than she is. As soon as he reloads, get her sprinting towards the door. I go out with her, freeze a second or two (giving her a head start, and him a better target), then I run like the wind.

I've never been shot at, but I AM used to the sound of gunfire. I've paintballed a lot when I was younger. I'm relatively confident of my ability to find cover if needed. Being the male, I'm also a bigger target, and probably threat, than my wife, meaning I assume he'd shoot at me before her.

Part of concealment though is using the other mall patrons. Sorry buddy. But getting away is issue number 1.

Even at 50 yards, shooting a moving target isn't all that easy. Especially if there's mass panic and a bazillion other people screaming and running. If it was the 2 of us only, maybe a different course of action. Flock theory works here - lots of targets cuts down any one individual's chance of being a target.
