She was a trained and armed peace officer, and this psycho got the drop on her.
If we go through the charade and enormous expense of putting an armed guard in every school, it will only take one fairly methodical psycho to observe the security measures at a facility, get the drop on the guard, and then go on his rampage.
And then the chorus will begin: "LaPierre's solution doesn't work. Time to confiscate!"
Her husband had been stalking her. He shot her in the back of the head and then multiple times in the face. Pure premeditated murder.

Well, hell, it’s only right. Don’t we have a fully Board Certified physician on duty in every school? Or do we just train people for CPR? Duh.
Bad analogy....you can always get the "drop" on a police officer in a particular situation, but if the bad guys thought that even half the staff in a school were armed, would they be inclined to cause trouble there???/I think not. You go to where you know there are no guns....if you even suspect that there may be 25 guns against you, you might not go there
Althogh he referred to cops in his speech, it is my understanding that behind the scenes his staff is thinking more in line with trained school personnel.
That would make it impossible for the bad guy to know who would hit him, this making it much more dangerous for him.
Two questions: How is a non-authorized person going to get inside the school to observe procedures? And are you saying there should be no armed personnel to protect the students?

Nice progressive thinking .... duh ... do nothing constructive and then complain about it next time. Had the principal be carrying a 45 (the first on the scene) and let off a couple shots at the punk, I think it would have turned out differently.
