The kid in Germany didn't even use his shotgun and was going class to class killing just the teachers. There are no emergency plans for school shootings, so teachers will default to "leave the classroom in an orderly fashion and assemble outside". For a shooter intent on killing his teachers, this is making things very easy.
Walls in Europe (especially old buildings like the school in question) tend to be made of more than sheetrock and most should qualify as hard cover. I would think that barricading the door with upturned desks and putting the students behind more desks turned to face the bullets at an angle would persuade to shooter to go looking for easier targets.
BTW, the 60 year old teacher first ran away as the shooter was reloading (!), later met him on the corridor, and eventually locked him into a storeroom.
The first LEO to respond came just in time to be the second last victim. German LEO on patrol duty do not wear body armor.
Unused fire extinguishers blow up in fires because of excessive gas pressure due to heat. The gas cartridge should resist handgun fire, especially if inside the powder/water container.
