[William Tell]

If the gunman is purposely targetting YOU, then the sensible thing might be to put as much distance between your child and you as possible.

I recently viewed a video of a father firing at a robber at a gas station over the head of his small child. His judgement was probably that there wasn't time to push the child out of the way. The child was unhurt except for possibly some ringing in the ears.

If a gunman was purposely attacking me, the last thing I would do is pick up a child.

Maybe so, but he never came back for the child.
