"Actually, if I heard someone yelling "Drop the gun!" my first instinct would be to run away as quickly as possible."
Yeah but in which direction? If you haven't taken stock of the situation then you have no idea where the Police are or where the "gunman" is. Think about it.
"blaming the victim himself is not even remotely reasonable"
I'm not blaming the victim, just trying to understand what happened and why he didn't react to the Police. Seems a bit...odd. The only thing I can think of is that he thought they were chavs pissing about, if they were behind him, and he thought he'd ignore them and they might bugger off.
