This reality thing is proving to be a bit elusive for you today. At least I hope it's just today.
False choice and a red herring...

...The Killer had body armor, and had fended of Cops as he entered the school.....

It might mean they survive the first center mas shot, but its gonna rock 'em pretty hard at close range. 2nd round hurts even more, before #3 in the casaba puts the lights out. He fired on the school for 12 minutes prior to entering through an unlocked door. Now he is inside. So are you. He is coming your way and now entering your room: You take it from there...
...Where would our potential armed Hero Teacher have her gun stored? .....

...I question the idea that an armed Teacher would be of any use in these massacre situations.....

...Official Law Enforcement is near-useless....

...Of course, the long-term answer is to return to a Society where guns were fewer, schools were open, massacres never happened. 30 years ago....

...We seem to have resigned ourselves that this is how we need to live now, that we just have to deal with an occasional school massacre. How did we get like this? Why?...

...One piece of it, probably a major piece, is the Internet and Social Media. It's no accident that Columbine occured in synch with the big surge in Internet and Social Media usage.

However, In his case: He is inside -- dead -- thanks to a Good Guy with a gun who rushed in. Thank you good sir! Job well done, because he went inside and got 'er done and did not pause to ponder a whole load of ridiculous, pointless and behind the duck, Unicorn pipe dream bullshit.
Editorial note:
I want to point out one actual reality in the way I wrote this, where I repeatably repeated the phrase
"he is inside. So are you. He is coming your way and now entering your room: You take it from there..." That is exactly the thought that will blare in your mind about every third micro second if you are ever in that situation. During the intervening 2 micro seconds, you may have other rational thoughts, regrets, prayers, tactical assessments, battle plans, Lizzo dreams. But that will pretty much will be the phrase that will keep repeating and hopefully help you focus on the problem at hand.
