Three cars responding to an assault at a school is not something "terrible". Depending on the size of the dept, it's probably quite commendable.
How does the call come out?
Assault with a at a SCHOOL full of CHILDREN with one INJURED. Hmmm, guess you think too many Cops went to Columbine, Pearl Miss, Red Lake, etc, eh?
3 Officers on a scene that may have 80 or more people. Sounds like about right (remember, usually there's a lack of info when these things happen in real time in the real world, better to send what turns out to be too many (in some peoples opinon) than too little.
The helicopter? Well let me ask you the following:
Do you think the chopper was tied down on it's heliport and the pilot was busy with other duties, and then the call came out and he ran to the bird, and lifted off heading directly for the call.
Or do you think the chopper was already in the air (perhaps quite close) and in the interest of public safety took a fly over to see if they could be of any assistance since they were close anyway?
IMHO, just another piece of sensationalist journalism.

(and I wasn't take a 'shot' at you fabs, just clarifying. I hope/think you know that)
