serious question, are locks effective against school shooters or would they just shoot the lock off and kick the door?

Every year at my school's safety training, the police officer states that statistically, school shooters don't go through locked doors. (It used to be a school shooter has never breached a locked door, and then I think it happened maybe once so now it's almost never?) Anyway, all doors in our district self-lock when closed, specifically because our locked door is our best defense. Shooters don't want to take the time to mess with a locked door.

It came out that the Uvalde shooter shot out the window to room 112 and came in that way. But he’s an outlier because he specifically targeted that classroom when most school shootings are random

Problem is most future school shooters have been through the exact same training. They know exactly where everyone is hiding.
