The expectation for law enforcement from now on must be that they have to go in and engage the shooter even if alone.

That’s been the protocol since Columbine.

Because I’m sure that letting scores of unarmed parents run into a building with an active shooter would have turned out super well! Are some of you really this stupid? There would have been 50 dead instead of 20, but hey, the iphone experts are never wrong.

If it was my kid in there I would go. If it means I die so be it. I would hope that one or two armed police officers would join me. At least I could detract the guy while they shoot him. One kid who was playing dead had another kid on top of her who was alive for thirty minutes. That kid bleed out while the cop did nothing.

Was the classroom door propped open

What is the story with the first SRO

So many questions

It's like 90 degrees by 1130am in that part of the country. They probably keep doors open to help with air circulation. A small rural school in TX ("low taxes! business friendly!") doesn't have the money for a badging system with magnetic locked doors.

Do you really think it's normal to keep kids boxed inside small classrooms with no fresh air all day to prevent school shootings?

That's literally the consequences of your argument.

It’s not 1850s. A/C. Duh.

Ah, yes. Those notoriously free A/C systems. I understand the red voting citizens of red states love to approve referendums for school funding.

In the schools where I work, you cannot enter without a badge or being buzzed in after you ID yourself through an intercom/camera (after school starts). Don't all schools have this system now? At the very least, the door should have been locked and there would be time to put the school on lockdown with all classroom doors locked, lights out, etc. (as in the drills). Why didn't this happen?

Of course not. This is a town of 10,000 people - resources are limited and having someone monitor a buzzer or even put in a set of double badged doors for the school, let alone the mayor's office, is not in the budget usually. There are school systems in rural communities were all the grade levels are still in one building.

Do you know that it didn’t happen? Would it have made any difference? All the schools I have known have had glass front doors; the proliferation of guns means someone can just shoot through the glass front doors and walk through. Or just shoot through the windows. Or maybe you think that we should take windows away from kids, too? Anything but taking away big guns, right?

And turning off the lights. Wow. That’s the last line of defense is a semi-darkened room.

I really hope they start publishing pictures of these little bodies torn apart. Some of you need to see them.

Enough parents could have run in there to save some kids. Maybe they would have died or been shot trying, but it would have been better than nothing.

It's obvious the police are scared of these guys with AR15s.

It’s so easy to get DCUM whipped up into a frenzy on a situation they know nothing about. But as per usual, they have all the answers!

So you actually think they should have let her go in?

If my kid were in there, I would not care if I died trying to get him out.

One mom actually rescued her kid from another classroom!

NP. Given that the police were incompetent, YES.

Most DCUM posters are parents of children, many are mothers of grade school children or children in middle or high school.

What would I do if my child were in a school building with an active shooter? And police were just ... waiting? I would try to get in to save my child, everyone's children. Even for schools where my children do not go. What good would it do? I don't know, but just waiting was not the right response then. At the time and in hindsight.

Parents were willing to rush the shooter - lives be damned - so that they could distract him and give cops a shot to kill him.

The alternative? Letting this guy live for another 60+ minutes while 20+ kids were bleeding out. Which is exactly what happened.

How many kids would've lived if they had them in an ambulance within 10 minutes? I bet at least a few.
