confusion in reporting is inexcusable. More lives were lost because nobody appeared to set up an adequate chain of command for information or security after the first shootings.
That's nonsense, IMO.
A college campus the size of a small town at a time of the day when kids are too busy getting ready for school..why would anybody suspect anything more than a solitary shooting?
There were no suspects, no hostage situation...they didn't even know if it was murder suicide. We don't know if the shooter left a decoy weapon at the scene. There were no reports of anybody running away from the scene.
The college president took the position that it was better to get the kids into their classrooms and THEN lock them down...since it takes up to twenty minutes for some students to walk to their classrooms.
IMO, the college acted properly. Blame the shooter...for once.
