I can see why a cop shouldn't be expected to run into the room guns blazing in an act of suicidal bravery causing their certain death but I think its perfectly reasonable to expect they should haul their sorry, presumably Kevlar wearing heavily armed (compared to everyone else) arses up to the floor the shooter was on to see whether there was anything they could do.
If when they got there they realised there was nothing they could do without dying fair enough, but the act of being in the corridor would have distracted the wacko and divided his attention even if they didn't actually do much else but take cover.
