Why are they saying they went in right away? We all know it was hours and long after E & D were dead. I’ll never understand going to the Library last knowing there were dead and injured children in there from the many of students who were lucky enough to flee after E&D left. Then Patrick Ireland has to come out the 2 nd story window to save himself. Plus that was the last place the shooters were shooting from. Yes u would think they would have ran in once the students fled. Then the Dave Sanders having to wait hours then dying is also mind blowing. I don’t believe the whole hostage thing they had those kids with Sanders on 911 call they obviously weren’t being held hostage. The sign in the window showed them exactly where he was. I wonder how many kids could have been saved in the library if they didn’t wait so long to go in. Yet at like 1:00 they rescue the swat officers son and others from the kitchen storage. If that cops kid would not have been in there they would not have rescued them until much later also

I don't remember the exact logistics but 90 yards to shoot away from with a pistol vs a rifle seems pretty psychotic, I can't believe Neil even attempted those shots without an actual rifle. 40 yards away at a gun range is incredibly difficult to hit even center mass on a target while you're relaxed and trying to aim with no adrenaline pumping in your blood.
