École Polytechnique massacre in 1989 in Montreal. A girl was killed along with 13 other women in the school.
Maryse Leclair, 23, was the eldest of four girls. Her parents were Pierre and Louise Leclair. “Pierre cried and stopped and cried again — you die inside — there’s nothing to say in a case like this.” Leclair was the first victim whose name was known. Her father, Montreal Urban Community police director of public relations, stumbled into a police officer’s worst nightmare. He spoke to the media outside the engineering building about a gunman killing women, then went inside and found his daughter dead on the floor.
In 89 the Canadian police surrounded the building and did not make entry as he shot till he got tired. Think he would gone in if he knew his daughter was inside? If you would for yours, you do for others kids.

What I argue for his guy, is not necessarily what I would do. I told one person on the thread I wouldn’t, but in the spur of the moment, I might do it. You can’t tell until you are confronted with it.
If I were to go into the school, I would hate to think I would race to my kid’s room to make sure they were safe.
Every one of those kids is your kid. The question is, can you really help or not.
As for the incident you posted about, I cannot for the life of me understand why a group of officers would not go in.
If I were with only one other person, there’s no question that I would go in. Two people taking a guy on has a much much better chance of success.
