How did this school zone not keep the perp from bringing a gun? 



The school zone is to direct traffic. The actual area he is working is not on the school's property.



I get that.

Try taking a gun to one of those and see what happens.

This would cover a roadway which goes through a firearm free zone, which does not pertain to this incident due to being more than 1000 ft away from a school. Although where is the exact measurement made from the school? Is it the edge of school property or furthest building associated with the school?

It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.

18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(3)(A) states:

Except as provided in subparagraph (B), it shall be unlawful for any person, knowingly or with reckless disregard for the safety of another, to discharge or attempt to discharge a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the person knows is a school zone.
