It goes both ways - should a resource officer on-site take on the code of chivalry and "put himself to the danger" when everyone else is running away? Well, it's easy for everyone sitting back and armchair gaming it to say yes, he should. That's why he's there.
But then again; do cops on normal patrol ever enter a shooting scenario without backup? generally no, that's not their protocol is it? My understanding is no cop runs into an active shooter scenario until back-up arrives unless he/she is already involved, but maybe I am wrong.
This is why the whole "Arm the teachers" argument is ludicrous... At best, you might get lucky if the teacher in the room is armed as a shooter opens fire. But the most likely scenario is friendly fire ruining multiple lives or armed teachers running from the scene with their kids.
