I also know the area well and I agree on the use of SUV and/or sidearm. Given the statistical realities it is highly unlikely a LEO will stumble upon shooter in the act or before the fact. IT will be a civilian. What comes after is determinate upon how civilian is armed. An SUV such an Escalade, Excursion, Tahoe etc would easily be sufficient to stop any such shooter inside or outside his vehicle.

Heck if I could disable his rig with a Honda civic and he ran away the mere information in the vehicle would more than pay for itself IMO. A sidearm against a rifle at 7 meters ( car lenght +/- a few) is more than doable for the pistoleer/ martial artist should the killer want to try a toe to toe vs flee. But you and other professionals here know such of course.
Stay Safe !

An SUV such an Escalade, Excursion, Tahoe etc would easily be sufficient to stop any such shooter inside or outside his vehicle. These are relatively heavy and possibly more difficult to accelerate? Would a Mercedes, BMW or Volvo sedan (plus whatever the American equivalents of those are) be optimal for interception? For pure pursuit, maybe just a motorcycle...
