Or have armed security posing as students like they do on airplanes with the air marshals posing as passengers. :D

It's an idea, but I still don't think it's needed. Thousands more college students will die from alcohol poisoning this year. While it makes headlines, school shootings are still very rare.
I do think armed security would help, and better training is necessary. Most colleges have their own security force, but most aren't allowed to carry more than a flashlight. I also think the cops need to be trained better. Watching that one tape, you hear 15 shots go off and the cops sit around a van waiting. I'm not expecting anyone to go Jack Bauer in the building, but a cop should try his best to save some of the kids.
