Yes, when there's a report that a gunman has already shot someone, the police should respond by... hiding.

Of course not, they should respond Hollywood-style, so that they create chaos and even more people get a chance to be shot, Mexican Standoff style.
After all if "a gunman has already shot someone", the police can obviously bring that person back to life by charging into the scene guns ablazing...
And, as many SWATing cases have shown us, "when there's a report that a gunman has already shot someone" it's necessarily true!
/s
From the police that regularly chokes people, shots unarmed men, women, and even kids, and likes to play with military gear, and are trigger happy?
Probably one can't expect much of them, anyway.
A competent police would have set up some kind of barricade to stand behind, call for the person to come out, try to watch the house from afar to see what's going on, and in any case, not have several people stand with drawn weapons aiming at a person...
