I think this is a bit unfair. I understand he was a police officer or a paid armed security guard, and there to protect the children, but let's face reality here... They don't give these jobs to their best cops on the force. They give these jobs to the officers who are about ready to retire. One of my friends worked as police officer for thirty years and was looking forward to retirement when he was offered a job as a "resource officer" at one of the local schools. His real job to give off the impression that there is an armed officer on school grounds.
We have an expectation that a single good guy with a handgun can go running into a active shooter scene and take on a man armed with an assault rifle. That's insane. Most likely he wasn't even sure where the shooter was.... His primary job in the first few moments of the shooting was to evacuate students and staff, try to locate the shooter, and report back on the radio on what was happening and where help was needed.
