There were armed security and even trained teachers in schools that were armed...

the swat team wouldn’t know who was who and would likely shoot the teacher. It is asinine to put armed guards in every school in the country the cost would be enormous and steel valuable funds from instruction. The solution is to make it much more difficult for nuts to get ahold of weapons.

The teachers were trained which was why the death toll was as low as it was. We are a nation that hides behind guns--we might as well accept the consequences...

Perhaps we could figure out how much it would cost to put armed guards in every school and then put a tax on new guns and ammunition to cover the expense.

I think that there should be both........ that would have been the only chance of stopping the senseless slaughter by that totally evil person! The only deterrent to an evil person armed with a gun is a trained ‘good’ person armed with a gun!

The only reason that the death toll is not higher is because the shooter STOPPED shooting the kids and left the school!

And what is the COST of those 17 plus dead students? More than likely if there were armed persons on the site, that fact would be known to the perpetrators and may give second thoughts to doing the act. If not, the SWAT would not be needed since the guard on duty would have neutralized the situation. All backpacks go through metal detectors at the door and doors are secure from entrance when school is in session. JUST MAYBE it could help.

High schools have SRO's who are police officers and carry handguns so it's not like there was no one there with a weapon. The shooter had a semi-auto with multiple magazines. I doesn't take that long to shoot 20 students. Unless everyone is armed you can't stop someone who's determined to kill. We've just made it too easy...

With the exception of Vegas, all places of mass killings occurred in 'gun-free' venues.

It wasn't a gun free zone. SRO's are all armed.

They are stationed in ISS but will be any place there is trouble in the school--that's their job, to deal with unruly students--and depending on the size of the school there will be two or more. My wife's high school has two and SWAT routinely drills in the school at night so they are familiar with the layout. It's because the school and city was ready that only 17 students died.

Well, where were they when the shooting began? How was the shooter allowed to depart the premises without being confronted?

How do I know where they were or the shooter able to depart? All I know is that the School Resource Officer is a duly appointed police officer armed and ready to confront the worst. That's why they are there--to deal with the worst students a school can have.
