They then spent the next amount of time finding the boyfriend, only to find out his guns were at his parents house in boston.

The point is that they didn't even know there was someone still out there with a gun. All of the logical evidence pointed to the boyfriend in that two hour period.
That still doesn't excuse the fact that while the shooting was going on, not one copper tried to gain entry into the building where the shots were coming from, but instead hid behind cars and trees and block walls. Not one brave soul attempted to enter and take the shooter on. I've heard the doors were chained, then either ram them with a police car or shoot them (Glass doors) out with an M-16. there's no excuse besides cowardice. I've noticed that in most police confrontations with psychos, they wait for the shooter to stop shooting before gaining entry to the kill zone, does Columbine ring a bell? How many lives may have been saved had the police acted in a responsible manner? We'll never know. I watch the Military channel once in a while. Those brave GIs run towards the shooting, not away from it.
