I hate the NRA -- especially that stain of a human being Wayne LaPierre, but I think an armed guard at every public school is a good idea. Maybe a retired cop with a Glock wouldn't be able to stop a body-armored intruder with an AR15, but that weirdo wouldn't show up at a school if he knew there was armed opposition waiting for him.
The scum who do crimes like this are essentially cowards. They want the softest target possible, and to NOT get into an exchange of gunfire. Why do do you think they blow their heads off as soon as the cops arrive? It's mystifying to me why they even bother wearing body armor.
It would be a good deterrent to have a cop or armed security guarding the schools. We all know you can't put armed guards everywhere in society, but at the very least, children should be protected from these nutjobs.
