Another MMQB that doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground
Did the shooter do all the killing in another area different from where he was locked in the room he was eventually killed in? That's a critical detail.
Maybe, maybe not. If they didn't have any information suggesting any shooting had occurred in that room, they were following the correct procedure.
Depends if any kids I'm that room we're already hurt, and if they were aware of it.
Please bring your crystal ball to the next active shooting all the dumb LE guys could really use your assistance.
If they knew there had been shooting in that room, you're completely correct. I've seen other people posting information suggesting otherwise in the last page of this thread.
Depends who knew what and when they knew it. If they knew and stood there heaven help em.
If they didn't know it's a fuckin' tragedy and a shit sandwich but it's not their fault for not having x ray vision or being clairvoyant.
And for the retards saying let the parents run in there... that's incredibly fucking stupid and you're even dumber for suggesting it. A bunch of condition black hysterical people throwing themselves into gunfire and provoking an armed maniac helps nobody and thinking they'd accomplish anything besides getting themselves and more kids killed is equally naive.
It's been established they had upwards of 20 guys inside right outside the room. We call that an inner perimeter.
The outer perimeter makes sure if they have the wrong room he doesn't go running out a side door and escape. Also ensures parents don't go charging in and getting themselves killed when they're frantic with emotion... and understandably so. However, they're not thinking clearly, and that's why they're not allowed to go running in to 'help'
Whether the guys inside made the right call or not we'll know soon. Sounds like command trying to throw them under the bus at the moment but if they didn't know anyone inside had been hurt because the devastation happened in another part of the school, they were proceeding correctly till he decided to start again.
Key questions:
Where were ALL 18 kids killed, and when?
Were they killed in different parts of the school?
Did the team in the hallway know there were injured/dying kids in the room?
Were there injured/dying kids in the room before whatever precipitated the breech and final shootout?
Were they communicating with the shooter?
What sparked the eventual breech of the door and termination of the asshole?
