I just wanted to pop-in and address the earlier comment about one officer not being enough to cover an entire school. I can't believe I had forgotten this since it wasn't that long ago. This happened at a school just a few miles from my house. I actually went to school with most of the students that graduated in the same graduating year but, I was transferred to another school years before. I say this so it's not one of those "this happened over there" situations. This is a school where many of my friends teach and many of my friends have children attending.
The video is boring but, informative. Shortly after the end of the video, officers arrived and the aggressor was shot and killed. ONE officer is the reason only one person died that day. In the beginning of the video you will see her go to the door with the principle to see why the man is there. This school is locked. You don't get in without a reason. When approached, the man drew his gun on the principle and the SRO (School Resource Officer) drew hers and blocked him from shooting the principle. She then led him into a more contained area as there were children outside and the others were in their classrooms. Should she have shot him? She was certainly within her rights. We were not there and don't know the exact conversation they had at the time but, in interviews with her after the fact, she stated she believed he would drop the weapon. I'm thankful she was there.
