If the pistol is held by a (well) trained police officer? ... It'd be pretty close. Did the officer who apprehended the suspect have backup, or any weaponry stronger than a pistol?
I don't claim I would've done anything heroic here, and generally think putting more armed people in schools will be ineffective at best and actually increase the rate at worst, but we've seen many of these school shooting incidents end with the suspect surrendering (or committing suicide) when confronted by armed resistance, even if they still had the firepower advantage.
