Unless you had comlete body armour and were extremely profficient with your own weapon my advice would be call the police (which in the UK take on average about an hour or so to arrive) then lay low and hide. Better a live coward than dead hero.

LMAO @ "learn to think and act a lot quicker"
Please make no mistake, as I am no fool. I was not sitting here peeping out of the blinds and waiting for an online community to help me decide my fate. I simply wanted a few quick second opinions. Have a little common sense man!! If I felt my life was in danger I would not have been sitting here typing away, I would have been returning fire while alerting the authorities immediately. And yes, I am quite proficient with my weapon.
