I was thinking of these full-auto electric scissors, unless they're an NFA item.

Seriously, if I was in a classroom/office, and if there was time I'd take the fire extinguisher, and have it ready to blast the person in the face. I can assure you they will not be able to see.
While releasing the chemicals, run up to them and whack em with the cylinder.
Maybe not the best idea, but its better than nothing. We have to do training with them every year, and I've always thought that is an alternative.
Better than herding everybody into a corner and cowering per current school training.

A fire extinguisher is a pretty good idea, if you're stuck in a victim's disarmament zone, though with my luck, I'd grab the fire extinguisher that didn't work. I'm not real big on the idea of cowering in a corner in the Department of Homeland Security recommended fetal position waiting to be shot. Of course, I'm more likely to be killed by a Champagne cork, bee sting, or a lightning bolt, than being the victim of a mass shooter.

I doused a fire on one of our pump motors with an ABC extinguisher once.... Was the most awful experience of my life. Wind picked up and I was of course standing downwind of it as I sprayed. I coughed that powdery crap up for at least 8 hours.
