The early reports on the shooting said that each entrance had armed security personnel. Did anyone else hear that? Why aren’t the schools secure yet? A code red is meant to lock down each class. Lock the doors, hide out of sight of any windows. Pulling a fire alarm is sending people into a firing zone, which seems to have happened. I just can’t understand how someone can get a shotgun into a school after Parkland.

We just had a home security system installed (came with a reduced-fee cable package). So we’re getting better cable at a lower price - plus security and then I added a smoke detector.

“So the smoke alarm will give a different alarm than the window getting broken?”

“Oh no. It is all the same alarm - VERY loud.”

“I’m sure it is. But isn’t it kind of stupid to have the same alarm? At two in the morning I’m going to have one type of response for the broken window - and a completely different response for the fire alarm!”

I doubt "each entrance" had a security guard as there were only two Resource officers assigned to this school(reportedly)These sprawling suburban schools have many fire exits which are designed as one way exits can be propped open or tampered to allowed outside entrance. (I and my friend did this many times at school and getting movie theaters without paying or attend R rated movies.)

Another thing. Liberal are so worried about the AR-15 "weapon of War' being too dangerous for public use. I and many others countered that a shotgun was far more deadly and cause more fatalities as it was designed to kill per load as opposed to the .223 round was designed to cause more wounds to knock out as enemy soldiers.(One wounded+four to carry, care for said wounded soldier = five soldiers off the front line)

Interested in the shots fired versus the actual victims(Yes it is a bit morbib but is important)

A report I read earlier this week had a teacher claiming that he (or she) pulled the alarm (or it was a statement from a student that their teacher pulled the alarm as they couldn’t get their cellphones to dial 911, something else that was said).

Not to suggest alternatives, but if the school building is protected, the killer will find a way.

Two things must happen: 1) armed teachers, and 2) stop coddling

The Sante Fe punk thought he was entitled to kill for being rejected... by a girl.
