Gangster carrying gun round, warning to get out (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fire alarm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'warning to get out' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'gangster carrying gun' is the wordplay.
'gangster' becomes 'al' (Al Capone).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'gun' becomes 'firearm' (firearm is a kind of gun).
'al' inserted into 'firearm' is 'FIRE-ALARM'.

'round' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fire alarm that I've seen before include "Safety equipment" , "Warning device" , "Warning sound" , "Warning to evacuate" , "Warner" .)
