Where were the MPs? This is a military post with a large contingent of MILITARY POLICE.

Who should have been the first responders? I haven’t heard anyone address this point so far.

The local police department responded; it is my understanding that none of the soldiers were armed, and that like many American military installations the armed guards are civilian security guards.
