One thing this points out is the necessity to shoot and move out of the line of the attack. Don't stand still. |
This is a good reason to always leave an escape route (although rarely practical). If you know your back is clear, you can back up while drawing your weapon, which "should" provide you with the additional feet and time needed.
I imagine a trail of spent casings as you retreat would also help you in the resulting investigation and trial (maybe not criminal, but likely civil).
Unfortunately, unless you are French Military, most organizations train you to fire on the advance, not retreat.
