Btw, hell yeah I think there should be a gun in every school. In colleges where students are old enough to carry why not? Under these conditions I think a Virginia-Tech like incident would be alot harder to pull off. Also, statistics show that conceal-carry citizens are the best behaved.
The police can not and will not protect you. They just show up in the aftermath to clean up and figure out who to charge.

This was seriously a one in a million incident. All the stories I have read, and I could probably find the statistics to back it up, show that having a second gun escalates and muddies the situation more often than it fixes it.
There's countless stories about people shooting family members at home thinking they were intruders. Things just don't end up like this video very often. They end up worse. They either provoke the attackers into using their guns, or someone innocent person gets hit in the crossfire.
Secondly, most people don't want to carry guns with them. I have enough to worry about at school or work, I don't need to have a weapon hanging out of my pants.
