Or have an accomplice inside shooting to trigger the alarm. Then when the students and teachers leave via the fire doors, they could be outside waiting and pick people off.

There is no way to be completely safe. It would help if there was better treatment of mental illness and sane gun laws, but given the history of this country I don't see that we can stop mass shootings.
