I'm amazed by this because on my campus we have plans in place for such things. Did Va Tech not have such plans, or did they not invoke them?
I also don't appreciate being called a rube for not being blase about this tragedy. Particularly since, even though there are shootings on campuses, any individual campus has them rarely if ever. I can't recall one here, on the campus of a university about the same size -- and certainly not one in which the shooter breached existing security to hunt an individual down.
Finally, how hard is it to take logical steps to ensure the safety of your students on those rare occasions when it's warranted? Apparently too hard for Va Tech.
