I hope Indy has LEO, armed guards, on each and every school. We can not let these fly here.

They do not. Not practical. Some schools have a School Resource Officer, but not all.

Just in time for caucus. Can't wait to watch the GOP candidates climb over each other to be the toughest on guns.

Seen some school police and an IMPD car on some, on schools I pass by to work, which is good.

It is practical. It's impractical to not have it. Proactive approach is always better than reactive approach.

I think the practicality he spoke of was enough armed guards to prevent this. Enough resource officers to prevent isnt practical.

Having multiple competent armed, trained teachers carrying on body might be.

And in any circumstance, you just cant prevent these entirely. You can only reduce body count by engaging within a minute or less.

Looks like the modern day law enforcement protocol is to have a press release ASAP, so they can tell the public hardly anything.

No need for a press release when you can just say the threat has been eliminated, with zero further detail.

Isn't "school resource officer" a feel-good name for a cop?
Practicality can be debated. With many schools being so large, the cop can be at one end of the building while several students are shot at the other end. Remember Parkland HS in Florida? Having several officers can be very expensive.
I still see value in having an officer on site. Better still is to have several armed and trained school staff members volunteers at the school. I have not heard if many schools in Indiana have taken this approach.

After the last one in this state, didn't the legislature buy metal detectors for every school? I'm sure they're using them religiously so this cannot happen here again.

Around 7:37 a.m. local time, authorities were alerted to an active shooter situation at the high school, he said. An officer first arrived within seven minutes and found multiple gunshot victims.

In other words, he had all the time to kill all the people he felt like killing, and then pop himself.

Every other or third teacher, administrator, janitor or kitchen crew could easily be a trained undercover "resource officer," to supliment other known security.

Get that word out and see what happens when the cowards realize there could be resistance to their evil, rather than free rein.

Just heard on the AM radio that there were no deaths, other than the shooter. 3 kids and 1 adult injured and in hospital.

And getting the liberal-run school systems to actually allow armed (and trained) teachers and staff makes this into a faerie tail. Hoping it never happens in their school system is the number 1 strategy most are following.

They would MUCH rather deal with apologies and platitudes to families of victims than they would possible lawsuits if there were to ever be an incident involving an armed teacher within the schools.

If gun grabbers are consistent they’ll soon be calling for a national ban on all LGBT activists buying, possessing, or owning firearms.

Seems like we are getting quite a few left wing mass shooters?
