UGH.

The guy fired thirteen times, duration unknown. I find it highly unlikely it would have made a difference were he surrounded by a SWAT team in a theater: initiative wins.
We also don't know that he is shooting at you. There were several people in the theater, he couldn't target everyone at the same time.

You are probably right in the last paragraph but I, for one, would rather there were someone there that at least had a chance of stopping him. IMO that would be better than being slaughtered like sheep.
