It's always about risk.   Attacking an adult elephant, even in a pack,
would be Very High Risk venture.  (Hunting elephants with guns was and
is considered Very High Risk) - so even Lions would be unlikely to risk
it unless desperate.   The younger/smaller/weaker the elephant, the
better the predator odds.

See the movie "Cat People" and the film it was based on - they didn't
need
no stinkin firearms.
