Whoa.
What all of us saw were heavily armed and armored police officers, dressed in the most stylish black commando uniforms, standing in clumps outside the building (some actually eating doughnuts) and yelling at the kids who did escape.
The writer of the article assumes that our police have the guts to take on the "active killers" when in practice, selfless and brave individuals are a rarity. The whole damn bunch of Columbine police should have been fired for their gutless performance or at least, disarmed and reduced to meter maids.
The longer police wait the more people die. The other statistic that emerged from a study of active killers is that they almost exclusively seek out "gun free" zones for their attacks.
No kidding? Imagine that!
Did a websearch and found an interesting article on “single officer response” training programs:

The only downside to this approach is that a CCW holder responding to the gunfire might also be mistaken for the “active shooter/killer.” Not sure what TTP would unknot that rope.
duh! how long must this insanity go on, how many innocent people must die before the ruling class gets it?
there is only one effective defense agaionst a nut with a gun, or ‘active shooter’ as the article puts it.
waiting around with one’s head up one’s kiester for police to arrive is lunacy.
Wow, we had to wait for the experts to weigh in on this? Wonder if we can start the genocide hearings against the gun banners?
Many malls and workplaces also place signs at their entrances prohibiting firearms on the premises.
Now tacticians believe the signs themselves may be an invitation to the active killers
