One of the most relevant cases is the 1966 Charles Whitman 'bell tower' shooting.
"Once Whitman began facing return gunfire from the authorities, he used the waterspouts on each side of the tower as loop holes, which allowed him to continue shooting largely protected from the gunfire below, which had grown to include civilians who had brought out their personal firearms to assist police.
Ramiro Martinez, an officer credited with neutralizing Whitman's threat, later stated in his book that the civilian shooters should be credited, as they made it difficult for Whitman to take careful aim without being hit."

Who knows how many more may have died or been wounded if he'd been allowed 'careful aim.'
