self preservation

I got into a debate with a co-worker the other day about engaging an active shooter. My comment was that if my family and I were on one side of Wal-Mart and a shooter came in on the other side of the store, my priority would be getting my family out of the store, to the car and getting the hell out of the area as fast as we could. He felt that wasn't a responsible thing to do (leaving the store when I could have fought back for the others) and said it was my obligation to at least attempt to stop the shooter. I explained to him that if the threat was in my face I without a doubt would shoot back.
Or if I were by myself I may attempt to advance to the other side of the store to attempt to stop the shooter. But my priority about protecting life is "we"(my family) "me"(of course meaning myself) then "them"(others), and in that exact order. What are your thoughts?
