Most CCP holders wouldn't have started shooting considering the conditions inside the theater.
I know I wouldn't have. I would have drawn my weapon and kept it discreetly at my side in case he started coming at me, otherwise it would stay at my side as I unassed the building as fast as possible.
You seem to think that CCP holders are some sort of cowboys who can't wait to start shooting, nothing could be further from the truth.
