It took over an hour after the report of an armed gunman on campus for the community to be notified? Even though it sounds like they were doing a great job physically clearing buildings with armed security, a lockdown procedure seems like a no-brainer. At ~7:30 most people are still in their dorms and it would be easy to keep them there.

- Symmetry 14y agoWell, it'll be at a minimum at least. Grad students probably won't quite be in yet, and for undergrads nothing is going to be due Saturday, so I wouldn't expect too many people pulling all-nighters.

- danielweber 14y agoAs they say, that was one of the things they learned from this event. They need to send out those alerts faster.
- hoka 14y agoI go to Virginia Tech, and people all the time say "Isn't that where those people were killed? Do you feel safe there?" Yes, yes I do. The alert response system here is impressively fast. Good luck getting our response time at any other school comparable to our size.
