Like MPDC said it would depend on the situation. I'm not Rambo or superman and am not looking for a long confrontation or the time to become a hero. But I am better prepared on a daily basis than most. I'm highly proficient with firearms. Am I gonna run toward the commotion instead of away? Can't say until that time God forbid happens. But I'd like to think that if I had the opportunity to make a difference I could instead of wishing for it.
If I'm alone I may seek immediate cover and assess. With wife and kiddies escape and cover their backs as the wife leads us to the car. Once there again who knows, it would depend on the situation?
These attacks are more and more often being perpetrated by people with high power rifles that can reach out and touch people. Unless I'm dead center of the all the sudden action it's doubtful my pistol and I can make a difference. I'm certainly not going to get into a gun battle at distance with a guy who has an AR15 and 30rnd mag when I only have a pistol. From cover, up close with a hopeful element of surprise I may engage them though.
