You are a lawyer, correct?

It might not be the legal or proper procedural thing to do... but I do believe we'd both agree that in that scenario, anyone with the situational circumstances that would allow them to summarily put down the threat with extreme prejudice, should do just that.

If I've got a kid in a classroom with a gunman and the cops are doing nothing and trying to hold me back, I'll disobey and deal with the consequences later. They can shoot me in the back or put me in jail after I save some kids. Ironically, I probably actually would get put in jail for carrying a firearm into a school. But if I find myself in an advantageous position to end the threat, I'll take it.
