How bout if you were you were in the same coffee shop as these officers?

Of course this is a different situation than previously discussed, but I think the same basic arguments apply. The cops are taking fire from one direction and now they hear your firearm from another direction.

Does you already being in the "line of fire" change your idea of not helping an officer or officers under fire. Bear in mind this guy was ambushing police officers, so while your in the vicinity of the gun shots he is not aiming for you. And it sounds like the BG didn't have many stray rounds.
