If I shoot some stranger (armed or unarmed) attempting to exit my property in the back I am going to have a lot more questions to answer, and the possibility of it being considered self defense is going to plummet, whereas if the stranger is facing me the odds of self defense are in my favor.

Same goes for the cops, or at least it should be.

I have read the kid was in a hallway and also that he was in the Administration Office and that the school was already locked down. He allegedly had been in a fight and was also carrying a knife.

Lots and lots of unknowns. We'll just have to wait and see what the investigation brings.
