But's hard to say what would happen in a situation where the gunperson is there with multiple weapons looking to inflict as much carnage as possible and knows going in that they're not going to come out, versus a confrontation that escalates into a fight between specific people that involves a gun.

A kid who's not there to rampage would more easily give up to a single in-school officer than someone who's there to go postal.
