"Now lets say a person who wanted to commit an illegal act and shoot someone in the courthouse came in one day..."

Why use a hypothetical? Lets change Courthouse to the American Capitol. And instead of a surprise attack, lets give the cops a heads up by having some guy crash into a security barrier before he proceeds to run through security with a pistol.

You are right , they chased this guy into the basement. Had he been a committed psycho with a bomb or a real mission he could have caused some serious damage
