The shooter can simply shoot the lone guard manning the metal detector. Schools don’t have the resources to station a full SWAT team all day long at the front entrance.
An accomplice can open an emergency exit and let a gunman in through a side door. You need to have emergency exits for any public building.
Metal detectors are not as useful as one might think. They’ll catch a kid who thinks it’s OK to carry a gun around as an everyday carry item (think gang activity), but they don’t stop actual school shooters. They can be useful to keep gang violence out of schools, but they won’t stop mass shooter incidents.
Schools started doing that back when I was still in school (early 00s.) It doesn’t seem to have slowed school gun violence down, though it probably helps kids prepare for the school-prison pipeline.
Maybe put metal detectors/bag scanner at building entrances, especially for schools.
Do you think that hasn’t been happening around the country already for the last couple decades already?
That just means the detector attendant is the first casualty.
I don’t think that’s the easiest solution to this
Whatever works you know
yeah but you could just restrict gun access and that would work fine
WE NEED DOOR REFORM
I feel like this is a reference to something
Those don’t work well for two reasons:

Maybe school system is the problem
anything but the guns
Anything but the people who use the guns in a violent manner.
as opposed how guns are meant to use, in a cuddly, soft touching manner
