And seeing that Walmart isn't hiring greeters (apparently the only thing those yahoos are good at) to sit at the doors anymore they're pretty much SOL.
Some credit goes to the woman that was the head of the Covenant school. This article speaks of the school's training for an active shooter, even to the point of one woman (teacher or other employee) that met the police outside with specific information to give them.
FOX News - Nashville Covenant School Headmaster Hailed as Hero
"EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Katherine Koonce, the head of school at the Covenant School who was shot and killed on Monday, went to great lengths to prepare her students and staff for active-shooter situations and immediately took action when a former student opened fire.
Nashville City Councilman Russ Pulley said that Koonce was in the middle of a virtual meeting when the shooting started around 10:13 a.m.
"It is my understanding from a witness at the school that Katherine Koonce was on a Zoom call when she heard the first shot. She immediately ended the call, got up and headed straight for the shooter," Pulley, a former FBI special agent, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, noting that he did not have details about the confrontation that ensued after that.
"She did what principals and headmasters do; she protected her children," Pulley said. "In addition, she prepared the school by seeking advanced-level active-shooter training, and from witnesses at the scene, this protocol – details of which I cannot provide – saved countless lives."
Nashville Police Chief John Drake said at a press conference on Tuesday that he couldn't confirm exactly what Koonce did but that she was found in a hallway by herself.
"There was a confrontation, I’m sure – you can tell the way she was lying in the hallway," Drake said.
As soon as police officer Rex Engelbert arrived at the school, an unnamed school employee met him outside.
"The kids are all locked down, but we have two kids that we don’t know where they are," the employee can be heard saying on body-camera footage as she fills officers in on the layout of the building.
Engelbert, armed with information from the teacher and a rifle, led a group of officers into the school and quickly started clearing classrooms. Minutes after entering, the shooter opened fire on other responding officers from the second floor. The officers ran upstairs toward the sounds of the gunfire and took out the shooter, who was armed with two rifles and a handgun."
There are more details in the story at the link. The staff was even prepared with knowing what to do in getting the children to another location to link them up with their parents.
As evidence of this “abuse,” Erlick pointed to a 2014 blog written by Oklahoma Baptist pastor Wade Burleson, who detailed how a leading layman in Covenant Presbyterian Church — the man who designed the Covenant School logo with the Latin phrase Veritas Christo et Ecclesia (“Truth for Christ and the Church”) — was facing persecution from church leaders, whom he accused of covering up sexual abuse of minors by a deacon in the church.
That alleged abuse happened in the early to mid-2000s, which would correspond with the time this week’s 28-year-old shooter was involved in the school and perhaps the church. No direct link has been stated between this alleged abuse and the shooter. Whether the shooter attended the church as well as the school is not known.
What is known is that Pastor Bachmann and other church leaders were accused of mishandling the knowledge of this alleged child molester, who because of his position reportedly had free reign at the church and the school. And it is also public record that the church engaged in a long-running dispute with the church leader who sounded an alarm about the abuse, a man named Austin Davis, who eventually was barred from attending the church. In a twisted irony, church leaders portrayed Davis as a “possible shooter” and a threat to the congregation and the pastor

Possibly. Will never justify killing innocent children.
I get a little worn out with the victim blaming when the shooter carries the same banners as the media and the left, or vice versa. I’d like to see the manifesto, but honestly, I don’t give a fuk what happened, it will never justify slaughtering innocent 9 year old children.
I’m thankful she wasn’t able to surrender. No mass shooter should be allowed to surrender. She’s dead. The families, the victims and hers, won’t have to spend the next 5 years in and out of court.
Not gonna argue that at all.
But - before the "right" goes any further down the "trannies targeting Christian" road, they may want to reconsider their so-called holy position.
It was always vans, the flame ones that look differnt depending on lighting. Trannys are pushing this meme to deflect
Not down with that either, so yeah.
I think maybe everybody looks for reasons. To try to make it make sense, but you can’t make s*** like this make sense. Ever. Some people are just so broken inside that they do evil s*** like this and normal people will never make it make sense.
I had a marriage counselor tell me that once when I was married to the crazy lady. I kept trying to understand why she did things and he told me I was gonna drive myself crazy trying to rationalize irrational people that do crazy ****. I just needed to accept she was nutz and move on. That’s a lot easier to say than it is to execute.
I don’t see the right do too much victim blaming, but both sides will attempt to transfer the evil from the bad guy to all of those that carry the same flags or wear the same hats. I’m pretty sick of that.
