One idea I've heard online (not on the mainstream media surprise, surprise) Is for teachers and police departments to team up, and to give teachers training so they know what to do in the event of a school shooting. Stuff like:
Getting lots of kids out of a building quickly, or hiding them.
Spotting potential shooters amongst students (Preexisting mental disorders, heavy medication,) and talking to them and the parents to deescalate it before it happens.
Training catered for a school environment, on top of the requirements for concealed carry, so that teachers can 18 or 21+ students can discretely carry firearms, and know how to use them without endangering others.
The average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 14.29
The average number of people killed in a mass shooting when stopped by a civilian is 2.33
