The situation is the possible presence of a shooter, not a fire for which they’re trained and equipped to assess before entry.

They used a drone.

Police aren't trained and equipped for the presence of a shooter? Police are increasing armed like they're the military. If they can't come into a building with an active shooter, then maybe we should make some changes to their budget.

As someone who ran medical calls for the FD, I merely disagreed with your analogy. Also, no, regular officers are not generally equipped (depending on the jurisdiction) for an active shooter. Helmets, shields, long rifles, etc. It’s one of the reasons they have SWAT teams.

This poses the question: *Where was the SWAT team in over an hour?*

*That* is a good question.

Yeah, I don't think it's a good look for police officers to hang around outside while little kids are dying in a school because they don't have their military gear and are waiting for the SWAT team. But I suppose it's helpful to know there are lots of police officers we can't depend on.

They are definitely supposed to be trained for it.
