I'm going to guess there are armed police/security forces/maybe even soldiers in that area you won't or should not notice as easily. They may be in suits or dressed as tourists to fit in to the surroundings.
From what i can gather the armed cops tend to patrol that area but i can imagine when mp's are at peak in and out times they are to make themselves more discreet or something along those lines.

If you look along the right of that pic you can see in the middle the curved walking path where the stabbing and shooting occurred. Now in that little square that funnels to the entrance i understand has non armed police. You see what looks like 9 solar panels or something? the armed cops patrol up and down to about that point from what people are saying, going off the picture i mean and that is panel is where they would possibly stop.
