Unless there are metal detectors at the doors, it is already possible that every teacher he encounters may be armed. Even then it's possible. Unless you think teachers aren't capable of breaking the law and carrying even if it is a gun-free zone?
I personally don't feel there should be any "gun-free" or "gun-allowed" zones in schools. These terms shouldn't even come up in conversation.
If the killer has reason to think the teachers might be armed, it'll just make the killer shoot the teachers first. Problem solved, and now he can proceed to killing everyone else.
If he thinks the teachers aren't armed, then it won't matter who he goes after first.
In either situation, both teachers and students are at risk of death. In the first situation though, it's pretty much a guarantee that the teachers will die first. That is the ONLY thing that arming teachers will accomplish.
