Schools are natural sitting duck targets. Security is usually non-existent, minimal or very lax even when present. Campuses are not secured well and anyone can typically gain easy access and be cruising around with no ID system for others to recognize they shouldn't be there.
So the problem is a security issue. You need vastly better containment fencing controls, security guards should be posted at the primary entrances, roving patrols on campus, picture ID's should be worn by students and teachers to identify everyone walking around, and enhanced emergency scenario training for all teachers and students.
Besides shooting situations, schools are vulnerable to abductors and pervs just as much.
It's really sad politically, that the protection of our kids, the most precious things in our life are given such low priority, especially since you are mandated by law to hand over control and proection of your children to schools for 8 hours a day. Probably comes down to a money issue since schools already scrape for every dollar they can in county budgets.
This sad stuff will not stop because no one is doing anything to change the way things are done at schools and you've got more and more nut jobs out there all the time.
