Wasn't comparing the 2 situations, they are obviously very different.


A firefighter would never enter a building with an active shooter. I wasn't trying to imply that.
My point being (similar to what RTFC says above) is that when appropriately trained and equipped, Fire/EMS and law enforcement enter very dangerous (albeit different) situations. The thinking on mass shootings changed after Columbine; don't wait outside, get in quickly in an attempt to minimize the carnage. In that regard, Deputy Peterson failed badly. "To Protect and Serve." He didn't protect.
