“BSO trains its officers that in the event of outdoor gunfire one is to seek cover and assess the situation in order to communicate what one observes with other law enforcement," the statement said.
Question - What good does it do to have an officer with a gun who is shot dead? Can the dead officer help the kids? Probably not, right? So it's probably good for an officer to try to figure out WTF is going on so he can best assist.

In that case what the frick is the point in even having an officer there? You put an armed officer at the school and don't expect him to engage an active shooter? WTF

Nah man, the officer is supposed to just run into the middle of where gun fire is without thinking about a strategy to best end the situation.

A lot of students died at Columbine b/c the police never entered the building.

Engaging a suspect firing at others would give you a huge tactical advantage. The officer knew in what general direction the shooting was coming from, while the suspect has no idea what direction the police are. Furthermore, no one is asking to actually engage him but he waited outside and had absolutely no idea where the suspect was.
They had an armed policemen on site and he literally did nothing, the city police responded sooner. So what good does it do to have an officer on site?

I'm pretty sure they have another protocol for a mass/school shooter that takes precedent over "outdoor gunfire", but I could be mistaken. Someone has mentioned standard protocol is to wait for 4 officers to form a V and move forward, but you're not supposed to wait long for help. If no one is coming or arrives quickly, you move in alone.
