Active Shooter Techniques

OK the facts are simple ... every single Active Shooter event across the USA, in recent years, has ended long before a Tactical Team was able to intervene (unless you know different).
So why, I ask myself, do I still see companies and departments teaching techniques which require 4 or more officers to neutralize the ongoing threat.
Is it fair to say that the FIRST RESPONDER will be facing the Shooter, if anyone, and will they be alone or at best in pairs?
I'm just curious as I am an advocate of a single person tactic which allows officers to deal with the threat immediately although I appreciate it is very high risk.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
