Was there an armed guard on duty at Columbine HS at the time of the mass shootings by Harris and Klebold?
I have heard some gun control people say there was an armed guard at Columbine HS and it still didn't prevent the shootings. Can someone clarify that please?
There seems to be some disagreement as to whether there was one or 2 guards. Apparently the problem was lax security as far as having only 1 entrance unlocked and having an armed guard there.

There was one, and the guard even engaged the pair, but he was outmatched by their firepower.

A guard posted at a single entry point into a school would be good. It may not stop every massacre, but it would prevent some.

Interesting--Two points--#1. That 'security' guard most likely had a 6-shot revolver--ANY semi-automatic weapon was more 'firepower' than he possessed. #2. Funny, I see NO mention HERE or in the anti-gun liberal "lame-stream" media about the FACT that SWAT arrived shortly AFTER the shooting started--their commander ORDERED them to "stand down" until HE arrived! Meanwhile, students were DYING--That event is WHY the cops DO NOT WAIT now--well, DUH?!? I would have DISOBEYED that CLOWN'S order, and DEALT with him later--Boss or NOT!!! (Dumb***!)

Yes, there were two according to the Huffington Post, just like the NRA wants. That didn't work very well did it?
