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.

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

Interesting response.

How did they know there were no other shooting victims or bodies laying around elsewhere without searching for those possible additional victims, or others possibly being held by a gunman or gunmen?

Not to mention searching for any possible witnesses, or an armed double murderer that was wandering around, or sitting in his dorm room, a short 10 minute stroll away.
