Dealing with that situation is 100% part of standard training across the codidn't. It's been the standard since Columbine to make entry and confront an active shooter immediately.

They were trained to handle it, they just didnt.

Not only does immediate entry limit the number of victims available to a shooter, but GSW survival is highly correlated to two things...location of injury and time to medical attention. 40 minutes makes survivable GSWs more deadly.
