I would GTFO ASAP

Most SD handguns hold at most 10-15 rounds. Even with a 1-1 hit kill ratio, the mob sounds like it was large enough for 10-15 casualties to not stop it. It was be far to easy to get swarmed while reloading. The best thing you can do is try to "slip under the radar" and sneak out, with your family and only engage the mob if it was a last resort. The sound of gunfire depending on how "enraged" the mob is might be liable to make all eyes focus on you, rather than scatting the crowed. Especially if the group was under the effects of alcohol or drugs.

All that being said, I am a chivalrous SOB. If I saw the mob attacking a child or woman(or worse in that case) I wouldn't hesitate to use whatever force necessary to stop the attack.
