Provided the teacher surprised by a shooter bursting through her classroom door, gun blazing, would happen to have a loaded gun in her hand, which seems doubtful to me. There could be circumstances where the teacher was alerted to the presence of a school shooter in time to have her at the ready, however. Yes, the teacher is no worse off than being unarmed.
In the West Freeway Church of Christ in Fort Worth, a crazed assailant with a shotgun started to shoot at church members. Jack Wilson,who was on the church security committee, ended the assault in 6 seconds, putting a .357 Sig round into the shooters head.
Nonetheless, 2 congregants were shot dead. Its not reported how long it took police to respond.
