I get that the cop might just be the first one killed. I also think that a trained officer might just have the knowledge and expertise to kill the shooter, or hold them up long enough so that back-up can arrive?
First choice for me is strict gun control. I just don't see that coming quickly. Until then we shouldn't have these schools sitting there waiting for some lunatic to decide that today is the day to die and make some statement on the way out.

Access to military grade body armour means armed guards anywhere are all but useless, a better idea would be to change building codes so that all school doors are steel framed and lockable from the inside by teachers or students so that when things go wrong the classrooms themselves become a safe place to wait for the police. Add to that an intruder alert bell different from the fire bell and you could at least minimise some casualties.
Bottom line though is if the US want to give everybody guns they have to be prepared for 10 to 15,000 deaths a year and there is nothing that will stop that
