There are so many questions...and very few answers yet. What type of communication tools the school had available is one of them. I don't know how soon the news was given to the media (TV, Radio, therefore internet) to keep the kids away from the buildings. This brought back 9-11 again. TV seemed to be our only link...But the students were busy getting ready to go to the campus and to class. They weren't watching TV, and probably not the radio...more likely their music through the ipods.... Text messages on a mass scale was a good idea...that is what they look at about every 5 minutes (observed that first hand with a couple of our grandkids...) I can't imagine the school officials wanted this to happen. I'm not disagreeing that the school shouldn't have been locked down. It probably SHOULD have been locked down from the instant they heard there was even one shooting. But how in the heck do you Lockdown 2,600 acres....? And over 100 buildings? With just the Campus police.....and maybe the local police in all nearby locals? And moreover, how do you do all of that in an instant? That type of question will certainly will be the kind of thing that will be asked for the future...
