I think that this is silly, especially if you look at how sh$$ty the whole tactical situation is. I mean I know people wanted him to heroically dive in and save these people.

However

He was alone.

He was in a pistol versus basically a assault rifle situation, he was far out ranged and out accuracied (not a word, but I don't care). A pistols effective range is pretty short, unless your a movie character where you can hit a guy a football field away in a windy story while yelling a clever catchphrase.

He didn't have the location of the shooter down and didn't have any idea what the geographic situation down (Map, location, trouble spots)

Realistically the first guy on the spot needs to gather intelligence where he can, and contain the situation if possible and wait for help.

Now I don't know if he did any of that, but him loudly charging into the building while yelling a war cry, would have accomplished nothing, he had every single dis-advantage in that situation, and I doubt that his actions would have saved any lives.

If the Sheriff is saying different, or the NRA or Trump, they're lying or don't know what the hell they're talking about.

He wouldn't have saved any lives, gosh darn it, he would have died futilely dag nab it, but good god he would have been a hero, they could have drapped a flag over his casket and the NRA and Trump and others would have said. What an amazing hero he was and a testament to having guns.
