It would also help if the deputies were actually on campus, and not at the donut shop.
"School Resource Officer Scott Peterson was elsewhere on the 45-acre campus during the attack that left 17 dead and 16 wounded, Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said Friday. “Staff and everyone responded quickly,” Runcie said, based on a briefing by the Broward Sheriff’s Office. “The SRO was communicated with but was on another part of campus.”"

I have the friend who is mayor of a small town with about the same population as the school. His police department has 18 officers. The school had two.
Another fail.
