School and law enforcement authorities learned important lessons from the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, Colo., which were evident Friday in another school shooting just a few miles away at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colo.
Rather than taking the time to get armed officers in place surrounding the school, those who responded within minutes – police officers and sheriff’s deputies – immediately entered the school to confront and eliminate the threat.
