Bad guy fires into ceiling. You fire into bad guy's chest. Bad guy falls back. You stop to assess and perhaps try one of those "tactical reloads" you learned at your local IDPA match. Bad guy - uninjured save for severe bruises - levels his AK at you and pull the trigger ... GAME OVER.

Personally, in the exact scenario as described in OP, I would be retreating, seeking cover, and making sure I could access my weapon to use it quickly if absolutely necessary. But I would not return fire on behalf of the ceiling tiles. If they want to defend themselves, they can fall on the bad guy's head.
This is why they have the Mozambique drill. double tap plus in the melon.
Agree. But you gotta admit, easier said than done with a handgun on a real, live bad guy. Especially if bad guy has accomplices.
