He stayed where it was safe for him while students were being killed. The shooter was well known to the local authorities and the police had been called to his home multiple times. Even the FBI was warned about him. There was a total irresponsible and ineptness of the local authorities and the FBI to act against the shooter before hand when they already had the information on him.
An armed police presence MAYBE...
Given all this, it seems the only viable long term course of action in preventing another similar event is to... make sure that the gun never reaches the person, perhaps?
And, since you can't predict who will end up doing this again, maybe it's not a bad idea to minimize the number of people with access to guns.
