Umm, if there armed police on the grounds, then your definition of gun free must differ from mine. Anyhow, Mark essex had it out for the cops, stationed in front of a police station and opened fire on cops, I would say an armed populace was not a deterred.
Also, every single shooting that occurs outdoors, is in a no gun-free zone. There are very few mass shootings that occur in gun-free zones.
A study including all mass shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 determined:
$1:
Seventy-seven of the 110 incidents (70%) took
place wholly in private residences. Of the 33
incidents in public spaces, at least 18 took place
wholly or in part where concealed guns could
be lawfully carried. All told, no more than 15 of
the shootings (14%) took place entirely in public
spaces that were so-called “gun-free zones.”

In most cases the locations are selected because of a connection to the spot, Columbine students shoot up columbine.
Fort hood psychiatrist shoots up fort hood.
Umpqua Community College student shoots up Umpqua Community College.
Man dressed like joker shoots up theater during batman filming.
They are chosen for reason having nothing to do with how "gun free" the spot is.
