I wonder if anyone in the library happened to look out the window and see Rachel and Richard being shot at the start of the shooting ?
You'd think if someone saw the shooting that they would have alerted other students before Patti even got up there to tell them to get down. I'm guessing no one noticed. Imagine if someone did and the kids were able to leave the library or at least find better places to hide.

They heard the popping but people didnt know what it was until too late. Some thought they were fireworks and some thought they were guns but didnt know what was to come

The Tom Mauser memorial site has one that shows a pretty good closeup of half of the large library diagram with the victims. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That's a good question
According to Rich Long, they did witness the gunmen outside the building, though presumably after the shooting began. Further, he claims to have told at least some people to evacuate the library.
