WHY didn’t SOMEONE lock the ******g school down - probably just by mashing one single button?
If there were gunshots for several minutes before he entered the school, that should have been plenty of time to lock every door. Why the doors weren’t locked is a question that will have to be answered.
It needs to be remembered that (if reports are correct) that all of the teachers except the two who were murdered did, in fact, keep their kids safe.
I can understand police entering to get their own kids, I have to hope that they also got all the other kids in their kids’ class out. But frankly this whole police response is starting to look like a cluster****.
doors locked? Notice we haven’t heard a peep from school management? Whole lot of lawyering up going on, I expect.
It wasn’t just a couple of minutes. The State Police spokesman said the murderer fired shots outside for TWELVE MINUTES. Surely someone could lock the doors in that much time.
Whose job was it to lock the exterior doors?
Why didn’t they do it? Were they hiding somewhere?
If there was no clarity on that, why? Who failed to have that extremely simple security procedure in place?
Where was the regular security officer? Was he on approved leave or just AWOL?
Seems like massive incompetence made this disaster so much worse than it might have been. That said, the murderer gets 100% of the blame.

If such technology exists, $ 40 Billion is more than enough money to pay for every single school in the United States to have it installed. That 40,000 times 1 million dollars could have been better used here at home protecting our children.
