I was as guilty as anybody for turning yesterday’s thread into a dumpster fire. My apologies for that. Can we all just agree that this man is a freaking hero? Wow.

Well done. They certainly saved some lives yesterday.
Running to gunfire. Running into danger. Plus one to LEOs and first responders.
Actual heroes. That word gets thrown around too often but it applies here.
Guessing they saved a lot of lives. I'm quick to criticize so I'll be first in line for a kudos here.
I'm far from an expert, but that looked like rapid & efficient work to neutralize the threat.
Why were the alarms going off? Was that from the onset of the attack? It seemed like they only went off as they breached the building. If they weren't on already, were they on to disorient the gunman? In my mind I would like to be able to more clearly communicate with my team without them.
I'll hang up and listen to any LEO's we've got on here.

I saw the video of the shooter blasting through the front doors, and it looked like alarms started then.
100%. These LEOs did what they are paid to do, unlike Uvalde.
For whatever reason your post took me back to 9/11. "Those" guys and gals always step forward at times like these. Bless these two heroes.
Wow. You can tell they were all well trained. Bravo to these people.
I don't want to start another thread on this subject, but I only recently realized that one of our softball players was a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas shootings

Peace after Parkland: Two years after surviving Florida school shooting, Mississippi State catcher Jackie McKenna is trying to move on
Jackie McKenna spent hours in a closet at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School while Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people one building away. Two years later, McKenna has had to deal with the grief of the shooting and another shocking tragedy as she continues her MSU career.

Absolutely. Whoever trained these guys...train more please. They all need raises.
My only question would be why did they spend so much time searching the first floor after the lady told them that the shooter was upstairs.
A young girl who was killed pulled the alarm to try to save her classmates. Also a hero that requires a damn big monument to her bravery!!!!
In case she was wrong or the shooter had moved is my guess.
They are supposed to clear each room as they get to it. That changed when someone inside with them identifies the shooter in a known location. There was a chance the shooter had been seen on the second floor but returned to the first floor after the First Lady exited the building.

Not an LEO but I would imagine that they can't take her word for it. They have to sweep each floor so they don't get surprised from behind.
Here's a few guesses: (1) active shooters tend to move around rather than hang out in one place; (2) they don't know how much time has passed since the witness first saw or heard the shooter; (3) there could be more than one active shooter. Those are off the top of my head.
In addition to what others have said, there could have been more than one shooter too.
Some of the most compelling footage I've ever seen. Those guys are heroes
Because they have no idea if she knows what she’s talking about and people move. They do it for a living. Stop playing Monday morning quarterback.
dead/dead
There is video from another cop’s camera. Another group tried to go to the second floor first, but the door was locked at the top of the stairs
He was just asking a simple question. I didn’t see anywhere where he was trying to be a MMQB.
I bet they turned the alarms on to disorient the shooter and provide cover noise. If it's dead quiet then the shooter might be able to hear the officers approach.
I saw a video of yesterday that showed the perp enter the building and it looked like lights flashing during that video.
The second video where it got its head blown off was my favorite. Loved watching that bastard die and start it’s journey to hell!
Not a moment of hesitation from the LEO. As others said, very well trained. What an amazingly stressful situation with the alarms and all the uncertainty and chaos.
That officer was on a mission from the time he unzipped that damn bag.
