The most current trend in active shooter training is for the first 3-4 officers on scene, regardless of jurisdiction, to aggressively enter the target and pursue the threat. There are even some that advocate the lone wolf philosophy, but think that it would most certainly take a special officer to do that remotely safely.
In my area, active shooter training is quite popular, and in most cases is very well put on.

This post warms my heart. It sounds like LE is learning that CYA policies don't always work best.
I sort of remember a nursing home shooting that was cut short by a police officer. If I remember correctly he was the first responder and just waded right in and shot the shooter. I think he was also shot. You just have to love someone who is willing to put their life and career on the line. We can't go through our lives trying to avoid mistakes at all costs. Inaction is a mistake too.
