but he was engaged outside of the building by an SRO, who was shot. the kid dropped his duffel bag containing extra magazines. one way to mitigate these things is access control to the building
A news story had it that the killer gained access via an outside door to an empty classroom. That door would have been confirmed locked by the custodial staff every evening, meaning it was left unlocked or slightly open that school day either for convenience or by oversight.
In the building that I was an SRO in, we had at least 6 doors in various parts of the building that were unlocked pretty much all day. Those that were supposed to be locked were always left slightly ajar so kids could come and go. It was a real headache to try and keep them closed and monitored. That building is still in use. All the doors are supposed to be locked except the ones to the front office but I really find it hard to believe they are locked 100% of the time.
The other side of the story is this building was built in the early 1970's. But, I think it's safe to say unlocked doors are always an issue in the older buildings. The new buildings have fewer doors. Remember that the next time there is a bond issue for a new building.
