I can’t understand how this disturbed individual was able to wound fifty people and kill thirty of them with a handgun. Those of us that shoot handguns know it’s not easy to score a hit on a (presumably) moving target, much less get rounds in the kill zone so many times. Was he trained? Even the police don’t shoot that well.
From what I have read, many of the dead and wounded were hit multiple times so it was quantity over quality. I bet he shot most at point blank range while they were cowering on the ground.
He went into classrooms where there were a lot of kids. It wouldn't take any marksmanship to hit a lot of people as he was shooting.

Apparently you have not heard any of the accounts. He had people trapped in an enclosed area. They were totally submissive (thanks to liberal ‘feel good’ indoctrination). He was very methodical in his work, and was taking 2-10 seconds or more between shots in order to incur maximum damage.
Presuming they were normal sized classrooms, he would have been no farther than 20-25 feet from anyone.
I venture that had any one or two individuals taken it upon themselves to wait until he was looking away and then screamed like they were possesed and rushed the little shit, they could have taken him down.
Of course, if they were allowed CC, it would never have happened to this extent.
