What could have stopped him? A $300.00 piece of bullet proof glass. With that in place, he cannot shoot out the glass to get into the school. The admin calls 911. The police come to the school and kill him before he can do any real damage.
If a school isn’t going to allow CC, then body armor the school. It doesn’t solve the problem, but it might just slow it down enough so the police have a chance.
They took 20 minutes to arrive. It was all over by the time they got there.

I doubt that would stop anyone. They have to keep the doors open in the morning, at recess, lunchtime, or anytime the kids go out to the sports field for gym class. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that you could just wait until one of those times, and waltz right in.
I am sure you mean well, but bulletproof glass in the school is not the answer IMO.
For one thing a hostage taker who is already in the school would be protected, It would be a fort for him.For another the expense of bullet proof glass in every school window would be enormous.
A person set on getting into a school would just come in with a busload of kids when the door is open, or he would wait until someone came out or was going in and get in then.
