I can only really speak for myself, but if it was my campus, I would have done more to announce.
The news talks about thousands of students who were not there yet, but, I've worked at 2 smaller university campuses, and am aware that even bigger campuses only so many roads in and out.
It would only take 10 to 15 minutes to send staff and volunteers to start halting traffic at the entries and giving them a chance to turn around or enter. At least they would know. It would probably only take about 60 people for 20 to 30 driveways and roads.
If a gunman was not caught, I'd assume the worst and prepare for him being on the campus, hidden.
Anyhow, that's just my style.
This situation is absolutely miserable. |
