I agree with the posts that qualify, train and arm teachers. They don’t have to pack, but the fact that no one knows whether they do or not is enough to deter mass murder. A single school resource officer could simply be the first target. In any neighborhood, a random burglar or meth addict has doubts about which houses are armed. This protects the whole neighborhood, even the anti-gun nuts. I see a lot of bumper stickers that say “This truck or this house is protected by Smith & Wesson”. I don’t see any houses that say “This home is a gun-free zone”. And yet, we say just that at our kids’ school. This is nuts!My neighbor across the street a, 39 year military veteran, lets anyone know he is always within reach of a firearm. When he is working on his cars or truck in the driveway he has one on his workbench.

“Engaged him” can just mean hey howya doin?
They’re using weasel words. Does “Engaged” mean shots fired? I’m wondering.
Also reading that he was inside the school for AN HOUR.
One 18 year old crazy guy, who is able to fend off three cops?

Actually you only need two words: “SHOOT BACK”.
To: Chad C. Mulligan
That’s because we haven’t tried the novel idea of preventing young adults with a history of run ins with the cops from purchasing body armor, military styled “sporting rifles”, high capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammo, without so much as a mandatory training video...
Armed police should not be needed in a school. And a motivated person could do more than “pop off a few shots” when there are a lot more kids at play.

The answer is to utterly refuse to give school principals and educators a vote in this matter. They have clearly failed.
Spectacularly, time and time again. Don't want to make schools into overt prisons, but there are many subtle things that can be done, such as first ditching the normalcy bias and acknowledging that we are in a disintegrating culture that's not on track to getting any better and adjusting accordingly.
