Of course, not all of the facts are known, but why not cancel classes and block entrances and exits to the campus with two people dead in the dorm and the gunman still on the loose? I heard reports that the first victim was female, and that officers believed her murder to be a domestic dispute. Did those factors have anything to do with the police not acting to protect the campus at large? Why not shut down the campus to search for her killer? The fact that he shot two people in the dorm should have alerted them to the fact that this person was a serious threat.
