An armed police officer saw the perpetrator outside of #RobbElementary. Ready to fire, he asked for permission to take the shot and was not given the go by his supervisor before the perpetrator entered the building.
Since Columbine, officers have been trained that you stop the killing (neutralize the threat) and then stop the dying (render medical aid), regardless of how many are on scene. They also need to be trained / empowered to neutralize the threat before lives are taken.
Here’s a direct link to the report, which catalogs failure after failure: alerrt.org/r/31
