One terror attack strategy that is sadly becoming increasingly popular is to open up in the middle of a crowd with automatic weapons. This is a similar scenario, in that you suddenly have an attacker in an unexpected location, possibly in the middle of a bunch of civilians.
You can look at the response strategies of local law enforcement to such 'surprise shooter' events to get some ideas. In fact, if an armed force suddenly popped up in say a mall or town square, in the initial confusion the authorities would probably treat it like a terror attack and police and SWAT would be sent in first. It would probably take a while to realize the full scale of the attack and get the military involved.
