There're several mis-steps that occurred along the way that allowed or led to this shooting.
- Law Enforcement did not handle the numerous concerns regarding this shooter in the first place.
- Safety Procedures within the school itself were lax (at best) and in the moments during and immediately after the actual shooting, things were obviously chaotic.
- Let's not get started on the lame (limp) response by the SRO...and the completely wuss and failed, non-response he provided!
The point being, IMO, there should be sufficient deterrent and defenses in place such that teachers should not HAVE to have access to a gun, or have one on their person, during the school day!
As a former biology/health teacher, my first (and should be only) duty is teaching in the classroom. Sadly, now they're adding 'Provide Security Response' to the list that also includes counselor, psychologist, parent, and (sometimes) teacher!
