Is running necessarily the better response? I myself study self defense, and I understand many of them may not. But anyone knows that a psycho with a GUN (IE long range weapon) in a hallway has a better chance of hitting you. Barring jumping the windows (again, another 'crazy' and death defying act), you're a target for him anyway. In a situation like this, you need to know when to negotiate with a psychopath or not...people willingly lined up execution style, in a line, to die. I think that's the point you realize you do something or die...and it isn't that these students should have done something, but at some point in their lives, SOMEONE SHOULD have explained to them what not to do in a situation like this.
