I cant believe after the first shooting at 7:00, they didnt bother to properly inform all the students. All they did was send out emails... who the heck checks their email that early in the morning? The school was equipped with emergency alarms, which were never set off. It's almost like they continued classes like it was no big deal. I cant help but to imagine, what if they would have locked down the school properly? The additional 30 deaths could have possibly been prevented. The first thing I do when I wake up, before I go to class, is check my e-mail, just in case there is some important announcement, or if, luck permits, a class gets canceled for that day. They also, according to the administration, sent the RAs through the residence halls to let the students know what happened. And you only set off emergency alarms when there is just that, an emergency, like a fire or something; they thought it was an isolated incident until the gunman started shooting up Norris. This isn't to defend VT's administration because I do think they could have done more to prevent the massive loss of human life -- i.e. lock down the buildings after the first shootings -- but I do see where they're coming from.
