I'm torn. On one hand, running toward the guy with the gun strikes me as a very poor strategy. On the other, everybody running toward the guy with the gun would tend to end his spree pretty fast.
Much the same as hijacking airplanes, it only works when the people do not fight to prevent it. Personally I know I would charge at the guy instinctively. But that's just me, if me dying prevents many more people than so be it.

I think its a good idea, unless the gunman had no intention of shooting anyone until he saw the classroom charging.
So you're in a classroom and you pull out a gun and yell everyone to get down.. then you're going to say you don't intend to shoot people?
