I don’t understand how one can think that the trained, armed police all too often can’t handle these situations, but an elementary school teacher can.
Very easily. My mom was a teacher for forty years...she would not have hesitated one microsecond to defend HER kids. She was very conversant with firearms....
Teachers and other school staff are there when the action starts, police aren’t.

If the shooter was outside and trained, armed police are inside, then they should be able to take care of him. But if the shooter is already inside the school and the cops are having to attack him, the cops are at a disadvantage.
An armed teacher inside a locked room should only engage him if the murderer is trying to get into the room. Taking fire while trying to get through a door, might discourage him. I wouldn’t expect armed teachers from trying to hunt the intruder down, that would be the cops’ jobs.
Oh God you have the only Cops should have guns attitude. Go awey fuzz boy. I think there is speeder go get ‘em.

Simple, at least in this case. The teacher is already where the action is happening and his/her own neck is also on the line. The police just waited outside and attacked parents, so the POS had an hour and a half to slaughter children.
