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?

Interesting response.

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

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.

How are you going to effectively search 2600 acres and several dozens of major buildings containing 16,000 students and another several thousand staff and faculty using 35 (guessing on the up side of available manpower) police in a timely manner?

Notify the campus community, effectively and in a timely manner, and you have a much better chance of finding out anything relevant.
