Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Comment
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Condoleezza Rice, but she, like others, doesn't seem to appreciate the critical importance of time when responding to a surprise attack. Innocent people die while 'the school' waits for the police to respond.
When a psychopathic murderer enters a school, it is no longer just a law enforcement problem; it becomes an immediate school problem. Either the school is prepared to deal with the problem, or they are not. We have seen too much of what happens when they are not.
The goal is to prevent the loss of life. Every second counts!
There are some well thought out ways of making adequate preparation to interdict deadly threats.
