When seconds counted at Newtown, the police were 20 minutes away:

At the police station, dispatchers began to take calls from inside the school. Authorities say the first emergency call about the shooting came in at "approximately" 9:30 a.m.

"Sandy Hook school. Caller is indicating she thinks someone is shooting in the building," a dispatcher told fire and medical personnel, according to 911 tapes.

Police and other first responders arrived on scene about 20 minutes after the first calls.

Police report that no law enforcement officers discharged their weapons at any point.

The gunman took his own life, police said. He took out a handgun and shot himself in a classroom as law enforcement officers approached, officials said.

To those who think it's scary for principals, assistant principals, or teachers to be certified to carry handguns .... if people are going to target schools, there'd better be someone armed to confront them. Having a crazed killer be the only armed person ... THAT is scary.
