The student killed two people in a dorm room, returned to his dorm room where he re-armed and left a “disturbing note” before entering a classroom building on the other side of campus to continue his rampage, sources said.

..........................................................

Some students question why administrators did not cancel classes after the first shooting, and why it took more than two hours to inform the university community via e-mail about the first incident.

Some students question...

At what point do you think the "Red Alert" panic button should have been pushed?
(p.s. you've got a good thread going here)

Why race to give out facts before a proper investigation is even underway? If you've ever watched the news during a breaking event, you know that the real facts don't come out for several hours. Why panic 30,000 students when it might not necessary? Why are you in such a rush to make a potentially stable situation into a madhouse? Do you really think that it would be any safer, and that there would be fewer problems if the police immediately and publicly jump to conclusions in the next ten American campus shootings?
