What if you had a daughter, laying on her bed, three buildings away from a double murder that just occurred at a school, and the suspect was still at large, armed. Would you expect law enforcement to respond with every possible resource available?

No

Really?

but I realize that a 12-30,000 student university is more like a large town than an elementary school.

No, the campus is not like a large town. It's like a college campus. They walked it off, a 10 minute stroll away, the killer was sitting in his room, cleaning his weapons or whatever he was doing for about 2 hours.

This facility should have been saturated with every available resources available searching for witnesses, other victims, other bodies, suspects, etc.

Really. As another poster is pointing out, the likelihood of successfully finding the perpetrator by launching an immediate manhunt would be very, very low given any reasonable estimate of the manpower available.

I would expect, and I am disappointed that it didn’t happen in this case, that everyone who might reasonably be suspected to be in harm’s way is notified of the possible danger.

What college campuses are you familiar with? I’m pretty familiar with UCSC, Cal Poly SLO and UC Berkeley. Murders are exceedingly rare at any of them, but none of them has a policy of locking down the campus should one occur, and I agree with them that it would be neither necessary nor wise to have such a policy.
