There are sooo many different facts and situations that are involved in this.
We do not know exactly how this went down yet.
His positioning his re-load time panic ect, ect, ect.
Even a trained individual or two with a weapon does not eliminate the element of surprise.
It's a math problem people. Training and weapons both add and take away from the overall equation.
Remember these are young people. The question is weighing out the pros and cons. If this was a prison then arming has less of a negative effect. (Convicts have less of so called Life value)
This is not a situation that has a simple answer / resolution. Such as too arm or un-arm,
It may be a combination of several different things.
There are certain aspects that make me believe that this kid was trained or had other groups that helped him with the delivery. Either that or he had just spent a long time planning, He was a very smart kid. (this is just my opionion)
As more facts are found and released the resolution will make it?s self more evident.
