Normally, there are two to three volunteer greeters at the main entrance plus the VA Police office is right there on the right as you enter!! Looks as though a lot of people were not paying attention! This could have been a major situation with multiple fatalities! VA Police, this is on you! Get out of your office and watch what happens at the front door! I do think replacing the ones on duty at the time and more training is in store for the volunteers!!! Got lucky this time!!!
So you're putting most of this on the unarmed volunteers? Seriously? And as many times as I've been to the VA with my dad, I don't recall seeing any officers. It would be the same as if someone had walked into the hospital. Would you want the nice ladies at the front door to intervene with an armed person?
