From an article from the AP regarding the shooting in Binghamton….

Police said they arrived within two minutes.

Hurray for the Binghamton Police. That is a good response time. But wait, there is this from later on in the article…..

Police heard no gunfire after they arrived but waited for about an hour before entering the building to make sure it was safe for officers. They then spent two hours searching the building.

They led a number of men out of the building in plastic handcuffs while they tried to sort out the victims from the killer or killers.

Why did they even bother to show up?
