while waiting 10 or 20 minutes for authorities to arrive, set up a base of operations, and try to figure out how to save you without getting themselves killed

More like 90 minutes. The cops generally show up, set up a perimeter, and wait until the gunfire stops and things have been quiet for a good long time before they start to think about possibly entering the scene.

In quite a few of these recent mass-shootings, people who perhaps could have been saved instead bled to death while waiting for help from the authorities already on the scene, after the shooter was already down and dead.
