Chapa, like the rest of the university police force, has undergone “active shooter” training at the San Marcos-based Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT).

How did that work out at VPI, Binghamton etc? Cops wait outside until an hour until everybody is dead.

It's sure safer for the cops, but the disarmed dead victims? Not so good.

Had there been someone in that immigrant community center licensed to carry a concealed handgun who had drawn their weapon and ethnically resembled the shooter, police might have shot him by mistake.

Someone with a weapon who knew how to use it could have saved at least some of the 13 who were murdered.
