The latest reports say the shooter barricaded himself in a classroom and
then began killing children and teachers in that classroom. Apparently
everyone who died was in that classroom.

The school shooting police doctrine since Columbine has been that you don’t
wait on the perimeter. You enter and try to kill or disarm the shooter as
soon as possible.

If I were these parents I would never forgive these officers. And for good
reason. You don’t have to sign up to be a police officer. These are the
moments which make being a police officer dangerous. Sometimes highly
dangerous. But that’s the job. That’s why, for all the shifting social
perceptions of police officers, they’re given great societal deference as
heroes.
