Here's a likely scenario:
A lone gunman rushes into a school with his AR-15 and a satchel of magazines. He starts shooting the place up. A call from school officials immediately goes out to local police, who rush to the scene and arrive about 5-10 minutes later.
Meanwhile, one of Trump's armed schoolteachers, an Army vet, still in his late 20s, thinks on his feet, retrieves his weapon, steps into the hallway and fires at the shooter, wounding him and sending him to the floor. The teacher yells at the shooter not to move, and covers him with his weapon. The shooter, in shock from being shot, complies.
Suddenly, the door bursts open and cops stream into the hallway. They're armed with their own AR-15s and are wearing protective gear, including face masks and ballistic vests. What do they see? A man with a gun pointed at someone on the floor. The teacher turns toward them to tell the cops that he has disabled the shooter by shooting him. The second cop who came through the door fires immediately at the armed teacher before he can say a word, killing him.
The teacher is dead. The shooter is wounded. Ambulances come and the scene is secured. Then, post-incident training reviews why there is this dead, armed teacher. It's all very sad.
This is what will happen. There will be no communication. The armed teacher is the most likely person to be shot by the police. People will feel really bad afterward, and they'll laud the teacher as a hero. That will be small comfort to his family.
