Metal detectors - just another "feel good" solution that adds costs to education.
If you were intent on doing damage at a school, you'd just be ready to do that from the parking lot.
Free societies have risks. It's unfortunate that kids are choosing schools as a way to get attention. It certainly works well.
I'm in the minority, but I feel uneasy about giving teachers firearms. I'd be willing to give it a go, but I wonder how many incidents that would cause over how many incidents actually get shut down early. They're not going to instruct teachers to actively engage a shooter, they'll instruct them to leave if possible. It might help in some cases, but I'll bet you that students figure out which teachers are armed in relatively short order.

I understand your point. I think it's more about the media having written a "how to" manual for kids that are seeking the maximum amount of attention. It's copy-catting the copy-cats. And it's awful.
