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

That delay is absolutely UNCONSCIONABLE. My understanding is the first 911 call went in as the result of the shooter shooting in the glass door to gain entry. You really can't get any sooner than that. Police (at least in this case on that site) should have been there in 10 minutes OR LESS. If this 20 minute delay is confirmed, then emergency response time MUST be added to the list of issues to address. Of course, a couple/few/one trained individuals with concealed weapon permits on site would be the ultimate timed response

This is really not consistent with what I'd heard on the news, so I wonder which is correct.

20 minutes is an insane amount of time for a response in that situation; I had been left with the impression they were there almost immediately.

In the end, the only chance at stopping something like this is to have someone onsite with a weapon.
