most schools have active shooter drills after columbine. never seemed to matter that much. 2 armed guards also wont matter all that much either especially only 2 given the task to patrol dozens of acres of ground, let alone hallways that echo making figuring out where shots are coming from difficult. metal detectors would be a better solution, but those can be gamed also unless theres really only one entrance which is a fire code nightmare.

arming teachers while still stupid to me seems like the only theoretical way to really limit casualties (outside of "ban all guns" and waiting 40 years for the 400+ million already out there to dry up in the mean time). if every fifth or forth teacher was unknowingly armed they could potentially engage a target substantially faster than an officer 5minutes away patrolling the gym. even if people knew to target the teacher first the next 2-4 teachers in the next classrooms down the hall and across the hall can still respond.
