The presence of a school police officer or armed guard does not deter a school shooter. pic.twitter.com/1tup9Et03f
There have been studies performed that having armed resources at the school don't deter shootings. My hypothesis is that if someone has arrived at the point of committing a school shooting, with the knowledge that there are armed resources there, they will arm themselves heavier. We have also seen individuals who do these things with full intention of dying. The same study I mention found that armed resources actually increase the death toll at schools. Now, that isn't causation but it really undermines that specific argument.
