The difference between a bunch of armed guards defending one man and a couple armed teachers guarding a bunch of children is how many targets there are. If a man wants to assassinate the president, he’ll likely shoot him then run. If he wants to shoot down a school of children, he’s going to try to kill as many as he can before he is caught and/or killed. The sooner he is stopped, the less casualties there are.
You sound remarkably knowledgeable about this.
