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.

When they arrested Cruz he was unarmed.
