The statistics are irrefutable, at the first sign of armed resistance the shooter stops killing innocents. Not a single occurrence of fighting back against armed resistance. The shooter either gives up or takes his own life.
Did you make us these statistics? They are definitely refutable. I can't believe I have to repost this...
Columbine - Klebold and Harris didn't stop when confronted by armed response, exchanging shots with SRO.
Whitman @ UT didn't give up. He shot at police and civilians.

Here is one you probably didn't hear of, not because of some media conspiracy, but because it wasn't public.

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez made attacks on two military facilities, was killed in battle with cops
In 2012, Vic Stacy became a hero in the Peach House RV Park shooting by making long distance shots with his pistol and stopping a gunman who had killed three, their dogs, and was battling with a cop that had been ambushed - heralded as having stopped a mass shooting, Stacy was exchanged shots with the gunman.
So let's give up this preposterously naive notion that a mass shooter is going to just fold up and commit suicide or surrender at the first sign of armed response. This is a great way to end up injured, crippled, or killed by underestimating your opposition. Police and concealed carry people who have done battle with mass shooters have ended up injured and killed. Vanquish the thought from your mind that a mass shooter isn't going to fight back.
