I heard people were shot in the next auditorium, through the wall how many courses of 5/8 inch drywall can a AR 15 bullet go through ?

depends on bullet weight and shape. Wikipedia claims the most common load has a 56 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet at over 3200ft/sec. Should easily go through several 5/8 inch drywalls. Probably the smaller caliber saved many. Can't imagine many surviving hits from a 45 cal Glock
