Define “close fire”.

In a mass shooter situation the biggest concern will be panic stricken “victims” standing or running through your line of fire and you’re more likely to be shooting at longer distances than typical self defense dealing with a normal robbery, carjacking, business/home invasion scenario.

In most cases your best move would be to try to ambush them, flank and circle behind the shooter and then close the distance if at all possible rather than face them head on but it’s going to vary greatly depending on the location and circumstances.
