What you can’t seem to understand is they don’t train for someone who had no intention of coming out alive. Even the swat team can’t do anything about that. They are usually trained at a hostage negotiation situation. This kid had no intention of taking anyone hostage, he came to kill and to be killed. there’s no one that could stop that completely. The best chance is someone on the inside with a gun and a shot. The only reason the kid lasted as long as he did was he had time to take cover, if someone could’ve taken a shot at him before that it would’ve been over much quicker. He was a little boy who was not proficient with his weapon because he just bought it. At best he was praying and spraying. Unfortunately once he got in that classroom it was a nightmare for the kids involved.
But the police cowered because he had an AR-15. If he had a lesser gun or a knife they would have probably gone into the room a lot faster and saved lives.
Even the police are afraid of AR-15s and it makes them less effective.
