"...That kind of fight-back advice is all but unheard of among schools, and some fear it will get children killed."

I tend to agree. This sounds like schools want to train kids as young Nazi brown shirt storm troopers using aggressive tactics against armed sickos. That will almost certainly end up getting some students killed and once that pattern is established, the approach will likely lead to less hostage taking and immediate lethal tactics by attackers. Our communities need to get to the root causes of school violence which the present political atmosphere and mentality are apparently not willing to look at or know, but choose to do nothing about.
