By the time the real professionals arrive on the scene the bodies would already have piled up. This is exactly what happened here.
And it would only take a few months (mostly weekends) to turn a teacher into a tactical shooter. Yes it’s possible the military takes people who never held a weapon and turns them into experts everyday.

I've only been on a knife fight with other kids around (a deranged woman attacked kids who were playing on the school grounds after hours. She stabbed a man who was already on the ground who turned his back on her and she was going after her more when we arrived and since my friend'slittle brother was one of them so we had to act, though my friend froze pretty badly after she spotted the knife) so I can't claim to be an expert but this is what I do know: When someone goes after people you know, and they're running around, getting near enough to act efficiently is hard. People panicking are a hard group to control. Getting even simple instructions through can be extremely difficult.
I have a hard time understanding how one takes aim in a panic with a basically a toy gun when the attacker has all the time and the herd working for him. I got stabbed to my right shoulder on my little adventure because even after I got the bitch away from the man who was down already, getting the kids to obey a simple instruction of running away was too much for them.
You either put well trained swat teams who are experts in analyzing the environment and the panicking masses in to technical gear in every school, or maybe limit the access to these kind of weapons.
