It seems as though there is a threat against job security if such incidents happen in schools. I am glad the button worked for the campus police, but, honestly, there is no real reason to expect to be fired from a job because a hate filled person brought a gun to the campus and used it. Being able to read the mind of an attacker on a sizeable campus is not in the job description. Good police work is in the job description and everyone expects that took place and the human beings that are campus police did their level best.
