What could possibly go wrong, right?

It is not the worst idea in the world. If 30 people were throwing
baseball sized rocks at the shooter, it would certainly disrupt his
concentration and if 4 or 5 of them charged him in the confusion and
started bashing his head in with the rocks it would spoil his day.
This is certainly the last ditch effort to save yourself but it is a
credible effort if the victims had the violence of action to actually
do it. Combine that with a decent defensive action plan and the bad
guy is going to lose that fight.
My problem with "ALICE" is "Counter" should be the last choice but is
screws up the acronym.
In that TV spot they did on the school that really has a defensive
plan, the easiest and perhaps most effective part is every classroom
has a defensive zone marked in the floor where you can't be seen or
hit from the hall. If your prime defenders were along that wall near
the door. the shooter doesn't see them until they see him and they
have surprise on their side. Better be wearing heavy gloves if you are
trying a "disarm" tho. That barrel will be smoking.
Of course it is best if the door is locked and the shooter is out in
the hall (another part of that school's plan).
