This shooting could not have been prevented by having licensed carriers (teachers, staff, other adults) in the school. But it would have prevented it from escalating into a long-running large count massacre like what happened at Virginia Tech. However that's not what happened. This kid targeted those particular victims and then left. Even an armed guard 20 feet away could not have stopped him. My question is why a non-student was allowed to enter the building. Even that may have been impossible to stop unless each student went through a check gate and had to show a picture ID.
