I agree with TS the answer lies within.

Not with LEO's, there are too much politics in Law Enforcement for us to appropriately and adequately tackle this problem in a dynamic situation. Agencies have revamped there policies to address a Columbine type shooting, the policies and training we have received seems adequate, but we don’t train enough in it to be extremely effective. Also the trainings we have received deals with a few “Active Shooters” not well trained, organized, motivated, Terrorists. These IMHO are two totally separate scenarios.

I would be suprised if even the FBI HRT could handle something on the scale of what Russia recently saw.

Just my .02 cents
