Self defense 101.....throw books, (and desks for that matter), at the shooter. Anything to knock him off balance so that you have a window of opportunity to get the upper hand, (or flee the scene if you can). The element of surprise can often turn the tables. I doubt very many of these students had any prior knowledge of what to do should they find themselves in such a terrible situation.
