Also, I'm curious why they don't just put armed police officers in schools.

I could of swore my school had armed police officer.

Maybe there holster was empty though, never really cared about guns.

I wouldn't want to live in a country like that.

I'm pretty sure my schools had one or two designated police officers who hung around all day. I don't know whether or not they were armed, but they were very friendly, eveyone knew them. It wasn't intimidating or anything, they were basically treated no different from staff members.

Regardless, one or two officers for a whole school isn't enough to prevent this kind of thing. These people who do this know they're going to die, and would kill too many people before the police could reach them.

I just saw the whole story on the news and it makes me furious. Devastated, but seething with anger underneath.
