There are over 100 buildings on the main campus. If each building had maybe 6 exits, that would require 600 police or security personnel. To answer your question “How difficult would it have been to mobilize and have armed personnel at each building” I would say pretty darn hard.

"“How difficult would it have been to mobilize and have armed personnel at each building” I would say pretty darn hard."

I'm not a lawyer, but if I was one for one of the victims, I would be making this comparison when a hospital security guard and local deputy were shot on the first day of classes of VA Tech.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – A manhunt for an escaped convict suspected in the slayings of a hospital guard and a sheriff's deputy shut down the Virginia Tech campus on the first day of classes yesterday as sharpshooters were posted on university rooftops and students scrambled for safety. Link

If I was a reporter, I'd be all over the difference when a couple of LE was shot vs. a couple of students.
