Story time: A decade ago Selena and I were at a mall and a shooting broke out (gang related). It was terrifying, chaotic, and disorienting—pandemonium.
We were in the second floor food court, everyone ran for the nearest door, which led to a deck with no way to escape

People began jumping down from the deck onto the concrete below (12' drop).
Everyone was screaming and clamoring to get away from where the gunshot seemed to come from (the echo of the shots made it hard to tell where they came from)

In the panic, Selena and I ran with the crowd and ended up on the deck w/o a way to escape. The windows and doors were all glass, so we felt exposed—like sitting ducks.
I began throwing down the deck tables (made of stone) and telling people to get behind them for cover
