Start redesigning the schools. There is no reason why electronic doors can't be installed at critical points to trap a shooter and cameras in the corridors. And they hire someone to watch the monitors.

At the school end, it's a tech solution.

In the killer spectrum...everyone of them had KNOWN mental problems....and therefore....every one of them should have never happened. We've failed our citizens.

No, you are wrong. Schools are already insanely expensive real estate. Solutions that you suggest would almost certainly cost 10’s of millions of dollars per life saved, maybe 100’s of millions of dollars, because that sort of solution simply DOES NOT WORK. Schools are too much like prisons already. Much better to decentralize as the fourth solution suggests, and billions cheaper as well.

“In the killer spectrum...everyone of them had KNOWN mental problems....and therefore....every one of them should have never happened. We’ve failed our citizens.”

The problem is that there may well be several million people that fit your description. We cannot lock all of them up. Fix the media making incentive for them to kill and you do not have to lock them up.
