That's true and a problem. Glad the option for CC is still available.
It's always a risk, but the instructors have tips to mitigate this risk. Chief amongst them, and this one is for bystanders, give a description of the shooter if you're the one calling. The police responding having at least sort of a picture can help everyone. If you see a defender give a description of them as well if possible. Second, for the defender, you are NOT obligated to stay at the scene if you feel it is unsafe. Get the hell out, holster it otw out if you're sure there's no second shooter, call the cops and say you had to defend yourself and you'll turn yourself in, immediately call your lawyer, and listen to them, they'll guide you from there. If you feel it is safe and you're staying, same as above, holster, cops, lawyer. If there is a second shooter you are not obligated to try and kill him, but if you do it may be smarter to reholster and keep a hand on the grip simply for this exact reason (and as always don't be stupid, peek corners, use cover, watch for trailing accomplices, etc, but a lot of that comes from a different trainer. Frankly unless you've taken classes beyond the bare minimum CCW that teaches what to do if you have to use it legal-wise, it may be the smarter move to not pursue if you can get to an exit.) It's certainly something you'd have to prepare for beforehand, you can't just go all "John Wick" without all the IDPA training Keanu actually does (and of course even then it's a movie lol.)
