After the Columbie massacre, a new policy for all law enforcement agencies was instituted.

Instead of waiting for the SWAT team to arrive, the LE people we supposed to go to the scene of the shooting and engage the shooter and thereby minimize the loss of life.
The horrific situation in Uvalde opens the door to MANY questions.

what is a bit disconcerting about the implementing of this policy is this not the first time there has been such a tragic shooting at a schools in the united states . so why has it took the united states successive government and the police authority to do anything about it . it appears that that is a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted yet again[professorplum77]

@smiler2012 A similar event happened in FL a few years ago. There was at least one armed guard at the school, but he did not engage the killer.
