If you are any place -- store, restaurant, whatever -- and someone come in with a gun, leave immediately. Do not stop to talk to anyone. Do not stop to pay. Nothing. Once outside, call the police and report a person with a gun. Let the police sort it out. You have no idea whether that person is mentally ill, a mass murderer, or a robber. Don't take the risk. If I were a mass murderer, I would wear a shirt saying I was law abiding, hoping my victims would believe it and sit still while I killed them.

It's no different than when a fire alarm goes off. Get out right away. Don't try to figure it out yourself.
