"Remember though, cops are trained NOT to go in to an active shooter situation until the scene is secure. Remember Columbine."
What about SWAT Teams or snipers - aren't they trained to go in even as the situation is active?

That’s very dated. Columbine was a dismal failure. Look up Albuquerque police and the response at the Emcore shooting. They charged straight in, no waiting for swat. That’s the modern thinking.

Often times no, unless they know the situation.
Still, this does seem odd.
