Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're not speaking of a bank robbery where indeed the main object is to obtain money rather than hurt people. The OP is speaking of a school setting, where anyone walking in with a semi-automatic rifle likely has one thing in mind, namely killing people.
When there is another goal - be it money, sex, or other - "going along" may make sense. When the goal of the villain is simply to kill and hurt people, there is a time for fighting, and there is a time for running. Each situation is different.
