And the shooter now has his gun and officer Barbrady's gun. That was the theory behind the Liberator Pistol and part of the reason they were never deployed in quantity, too dammed scary.

I'll say it again, as an educator and parent. Until the communities, parents, demand a change a change will not occur.

The Oregon school (2800 students) had 2 full-time LEOs on-site (presumably because of gang issues).
This still happened... AND, on exit pat-down, another handgun was discovered on another student.
So here we have a conundrum...
Do we toss up our hands and allow the schools to fend for themselves? Do we have an armed guard in every hallway?
Or, do we look at something in-between? I say this, which would include better community policing, education, and selectively arming teachers.
That said, there is AIUI no real statistical change in these sorts of issues but, with the increased news capability (and agenda??) they get magnified to the point of hysteria.

Have as much physical, mechanical, electronic and visual methods money can buy. The real problem is that there will always be human failure in that process.
Unfortunately, the reality is these politicians dont' care about making schools safer. If they truly cared, they would be listening to the numerous bipartisan people who have advocated safety measures, from Clinton's Cops in Schools to the NRA's School Shield program, the suggestions are out there.
Unfortunatly the politicians have realized school shootings are their last best hope for gun control in America and if the blood stops flowing, their hopes dry up.

I stand with John Locke.
Correct. But no safety measure can be. 100% effective and the. Real risk to children are gangs.. which parents know too well.
.
Parents know the deal. When risk becomes to high they will pull Thier kids out of school. Until then we wait of the real nightmare. .. a terrorist assault on one or more schools.
Its a given. Time to raise the alarm so it can be ignored.
