I've read on some news stories that the gunman "broke into" the school; I'm not sure that I understand "broke into".
Every elementary school that I know of (i.e. here in Canada), yes, visitors have to "report" to the office, but unless the office is "right there" at the front entrance, someone could stroll into the unlocked front entrance & easily bypass the office and wander around the place until someone inquired, "May I help you?"
Are American elementary schools generally kept "locked"? (In particular, the front entrance?)
Please explain / advise.

The doors at the school are locked at 9:30. All visitors must be buzzed in. The perpetrator (I will not give him the respect of using his name) buzzed the door and was refused. He then shot a glass door and climbed through the hole.
The noise of the shots is what brought several administrators to the hallway where he shot them.
