I have a business in a popular mall. Post 9/11, there were concerns that terrorists would go for soft targets such as malls. The most important thing is to properly assess the situation. If it is indeed a terrorist action or a mad man on a spree, I think the only responsible thing to do is take action. Of course you should get any family members to safety first and then gain a good place of cover. Rushing into a situation is probably the dumbest thing to do unless the action is directed against you. In that case, maybe quick action is the only thing that will save your hide.
