In this case, they attempted to break into the building immediately upon arriving. That is the new SOP following Columbine, where SWAT teams waited outside the school for several hours under orders from their superiors so as not to jeopardize their own safety. I think the new procedure is called "active shooter" or something like that.
Situations change from event to event, but by nature and definition, police and other first responders are reactive in most cases. I don't know how to change that unless you station a cop in every room and on every corner.
In most cases, it's probably better to wait for professionals who have some training in these situations rather than trying to take matters in your own hands.
