Assuming he lives long enough. This is why we all have courage and assume others will do the same. Might as well try.

put down the tables with the upper part fronting him, then cover you back there. And then, try to charge with your desk in hand. You will be more unlikely to get hit, and if more people do it you can crush him.
No joke. It seems a bit strange, but i can ensure any grown up man will have trouble facing +20 teenagers crushing him into the wall.
You won't have time to do this. The shooter needs to be rushed ASAP and creating makeshift shields will only give more time to be sprayed with bullets. The weight of the desk will also slow you down and make an easier target for the shooter to aim at. Also bullets can go thru cars, a desk won't stop you from being shot to death.

The desk is not meant to protrect you, but to make the shooter not capable of aiming towards vital organs at will, because he can't see them.
Also, the weight of the desk is enough to let you carry it, and also hit harder just with running at him, instead of trying to fight.
Oh, and the desks move may leave him distracted enough time to charge at him and/or throwing whatever you have to him, forcing him to cover himself and letting all of you to crush him.
Gunmen don't aim, they just shoot. They also rarely use single action guns, but semi-automatics or automatics. ARs can shoot 800 bullets per minute, you don't need to aim to hit someone. Holding a desk at him is like saying, "Hey shoot at this thing now moving at you! You know, the thing I'm standing behind!" You're just making a easier target then 30 kids coming at once. ASAP is the answer, not not-so-clever thinking.

So, it's better to jump at him with your bare body than picking up something to make more force to face him?
With all the people of course someone will get shot, but if all of them jumped you will end up with a pile of dead bodies. You have to choose between jumping at him AND face him, or just run and charge at him.
Plus, the desk isn't gonna do anything against bullets, but it makes you feel more save to run at him, and will make anyone confused for a second. Also, what said about throwing at him things to the face.
heh I think my school is prepared for that. A few weeks ago a fight broke out at lunch and EVERYONE got up and split them up and calm em down instead of instigating. It was awesome.
It's easy to talk about what should be done, but actually having the sense and composure to do the logical thing in a high-pressure and unexpected situation, I bet, is not nearly so easy. I wonder how many of us would even remember this in time to make a difference...?
I'm not saying people that have guns are evil, I'm just saying if they have a gun at school. .. unless the school is providing them, chances are there might be some gangster activity there
