He's not there to stop a gunman, obviously. He's there to give the parents a peace of mind, with them worrying about another shooting it's comforting for them to him there. Even if he's unarmed and can't do anything, although I'm sure if someone tried something he'd do everything he could, but for the most part it's to comfort the other parents and kids. Like saying, "You don't need to worry there's a Marine outside who'll keep everyone all safe." Will he actually? Not necessarily, but like I said, it's a matter of comforting the parents/kids.
I would think that it would be more comforting to the children who are old enough to really understand what happened and be afraid. If I was a parent I wouldn't really be comforted considering what I said before that it wouldn't really make a difference.
