At a press conference, Steger said authorities believed that the shooting at the dorm was a domestic dispute and mistakenly thought the gunman had fled the campus and defended the university’s handling of the tragedy. "We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur," Steger said. "We can only make decisions based on the information you had on the time. You don't have hours to reflect on it."

Two people are found shot dead, and you assume that the gunman has left campus? Why?

Given the information they had, they should have assumed the worst. There was no reason not to suspect that another incident would occur. At the very least, the police would have to locate and arrest the suspect, which could be a very dangerous situation indeed.
