I’m not an expert, but I’m not sure driving your car around is a great idea. If anything, get out and run out of the line of fire.

The odds of someone hitting you on the move with a handgun are incredibly low.

Having said that, I guess you don’t really know what you’d do until you’re in the situation. They got out safely, the bad guy was dealt with by the police and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters.
