Hell, they don’t even know is there is still a shooter out there. All they know is that the active shooting situation has ended.

Who says this is the only attack of this kind?? Hopefully it was a lone killer, but Universities etc should be prepared for the worst. How better to hurt America than killing their your students?

“Governor just declared a state of emergency in Virginia..CNN Why do that?”

Here’s my guess....

BEIJING — Lawmakers from China’s restive western Muslim region said Friday that 18 suspects killed in a raid on an alleged terror camp in January had links to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Shi Dagang, a lawmaker from the Xinjiang region, also confirmed that 18 people from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, or ETIM, died in the raid and 17 others were arrested.

“They had close connections to Al Qaeda,” Shi said at a news conference during China’s annual legislative session.

“There terrorists were trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan and sent to China by them,” Shi said, adding that more than 1,500 semi-assembled grenades were seized in the raid east of China’s border with Kyrgyzstan.

It may be necessary to declare a state of emergency to apply for certain types of disaster assistance, just like they always do after a natural disaster.
