Agreed! Lessons can be learned but how does one ever plan for something like this? These people cannot be phsycic and all knowing .... and I’d guess they are in shock right now as well. The blame game seems idiotic ... these men and women in local law enforcement and University Administration did not aid in any of this ... they just never saw it coming ... any in reality, how could they? We do need to learn why this happened, esp on the remote possibility that this was foreign terrorism. We can also learn from it .... but the sole responsibility is with the person(s) that carried this out.
As far as the authorities knew it was a murder in the dorms. How could they possibly guess an attack on the University? Even if they could, how to lock down 2000 acres of campus with a small security force?? Blaming the police or admin is not the answer.
