No, it just increases the temptation of the sniper to move to where the schools are open. Or more likely, to target kids where they are perceived safe. Its just a matter of time before he nails someone through the window of their home or office. But now perhaps he may target a kid in that window. He's gone after people in everday situations, the message being no one is safe. Striking someone inside is the next logical progression.

Oh, but he hasn't done that before? That's the stupid line that all these expert talking heads keep throwing out, and then the sniper proves them wrong in the next shooting. See a pattern? When officials react, he views it as a challenge. Closing schools just sends the message that children are going to be a greater challenge.

Closing schools is the same line of thinking that believes outlawing guns will make society safer.
