That's been the standard for active shooters for a couple decades now. You don't wait for backup. You rush in and engage the shooter asap.

Faced charges of neglect of a child, culpable negligence and perjury and was ultimately charged with 7 counts of child neglect w/ great bodily harm, etc as faced 97 years in jail. I just found this on google n will see if I can find out what has happened to him since. Of course this was Florida so maybe Texas is different.

The guy went into the room, barricaded in a classroom of kids and cops waited for a tactical team. Shooting happened and cops waited outside.
