“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 doesnt take a genius to figure that you could just wait until one of those times, and waltz right in.”
That isn’t what he did. He shot the glass out, turned the doorknob and walked in. And that is after the school put new security measures into place.
The glass would have stopped him. Not saying what will stop nuts from doing this again in the future. All I am saying was the single point of failure was the glass.
The goal in mitigating risk is to find those points of failure and correct them. Apparently whatever security they put in place didn’t address this.
“The glass would have stopped him.”
Well, if they had installed bulletproof glass, then I don’t think his plan would have been to try to shoot through the bulletproof glass. He would have just planned a different way to get in.
I’m not of the opinion that any of these “security” measures will ever stop a determined shooter. They will never be foolproof, so there will always be another “point of failure” to examine after each shooting. Even if we managed to make the schools 100% secure, which is impossible I think, then they’d just move on to churches, or libraries, zoos, or somewhere that wasn’t secure.
