I'm disappointing that you have so little faith in your fellow mankind.
Some things are better left to the police. Teachers aren't trained for LE, nor should they be. No need to arm up the classroom.

Why would any of these criminals think that the possibility of dying by being shot by another person is any stronger deterrent than the possibility of dying by the death penalty? Especially suicidal kids like the one on the OP's story.
We already have deterrents in place, including facing possible death, without having to arm the whole society.
Death and prison penalties have obviously kept crime insignificant and trending downward.
A very small %age of homicides are solved, and fewer house-breakins.
I actually heard a common sense idea with some background behind it that lessens my support for the death penalty in as many cases as I have expressed I would like to see it used in. It seems that when a criminal goes past a certain point, it can be an advantages gamble to kill the potential witnesses as not to have someone testify for the dearth penalty. I am skeptical that this is a real factor as opposed to killing witnesses to stay out of jail in the first place, but it has merit as not to apply it to as many cir stances as I would like to apply it too.
There are shades of gray, and no one scenario fits all. Criminals often expect to get away with their crime. In cir stances where this is the case, such criminals will think twice before committing the crimes. Just because it doesn't detour all cases, doesn't mean you should -can the idea.
Have there been any school shootings by people who weren't suicidal? I genuinely don't know, but can't recall any such cases.
Is the threat of being killed a deterrent to someone who plans their own head-shot as the finale of their tantrum?
