Reminiscent of the shooting outside the Tyler courthouse too. Mark Wilson was supposed to be a good shot and well practiced. Mark took on a single gunman who had an AK-47 and was wearing body armor --his first shot hit the gunman in the back, then Mark hid behind a truck, stood up, and shot the guy in the chest before he was killed --one shot to take Mark down, then three more to finish him off as he lay on the ground.A-R wrote:Interesting scenario/thread. In terms of "takeover bank robberies" my mind always goes first to the infamous "North Hollywood Shootout" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
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.

Re: Active Shooter
I think the movie "Point Break" contains a bank robbery scene that depicts the most likely outcome should you attempt to engage a group of bank robbers.
