[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not defending poor communication but this doesn't sound like a "typical" school shooting situation (I know that sounds terrible). If the victim couldn't communicate or identify the shooter while he is bleeding/seriously wounded, then it is going to take some time to figure out who the shooter is/where he is.

We're often quick to blame administration, police, etc. when all the blame should be placed on the shooter (and possibly his parents).[/quote]

No, because it's a given the shooter is the culprit.

However, given the unconscionable number of school shootings in this country (I'm European, and most EU countries don't have any), you'd think police and schools would have a plan for every possible shooting situation, no?!?!?!

I agree. But I don't think they want to incorrectly identify someone as the shooter, and [b]he wasn't running around or off campus[/b]. I have no idea what the protocols are. Maybe they should re-evalute them.

He was in a room with potential victims for more than an hour. That's enough to blame law enforcement and school admin.

Can you imagine that if it had gone another way, all the people in that room would be dead right now?

I think them being there for an hour was by design. They wanted to calmly and discreetly remove the shooter, not cause him to panic and shoot others. [/quote]
