It's true there are many variables and complications both during, and after (such as lawsuits). If I were to narrow the hypothetical a bit more to say that it was clear there was an active shooter attacking innocents (and not just a shootout between bad guys) then I would like to think I would try to find him. But I'm a single guy with no dependents. I would not blame a family man or woman for getting out of harms way. You have to think of your role as breadwinner and parent.

This is inspired from the other thread here recently about teachers being armed. But in any situation if you as a chl heard shots nearby and you had no one with you such as family to protect, would you seek out the source of the shots or go the other direction? You would of course be placing yourself in more danger if you did, but if you didn't you might read the news the next day that some crazy person had killed a dozen people and wonder if you could have stopped it.
