A knife in close quarters is insanely dangerous. Using guns against an attacker with a knife is not really an escalation.

That said, the situation should never have escalated to the point where there is someone attacking with a knife.

Studies show that an attacker with a knife in hand has the advantage over someone with a holstered gun from as far as 21 feet away.
