Interesting you bring that up... in the Clackamas mall shooting their was a guy with a CCW who did draw his weapon and took position to fire at the shooter. The shooter was struggling with his rifle, and saw the guy with the handgun positioned to fire at him. The CCW holder did not fire because there were people behind the shooter, and he did not have a safe firing condition. When the shooter unjammed his rifle he turned it on himself and the situation was over.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but it looks like the guy with the CCW minimized the incident with his presence...although I will concede that is a debatable point.
