Anger follows tech college massacre of 32
Typical comment: "(..after the first shooting... ) the police and the university authorities met nearly two hours later and only after 2hrs and 11 minutes have elapsed do they finally get around to sending out a vague warning BY EMAIL. Email, I ask you. Hardly the best choice for a potentially time critical warning."
IMO: Seems to me that a Tannoy announcement could have been made clearly around campus within SECONDS of the first incident. The police drove round the campus with speakers, apparently after the killings ended. One problem is, early Tannoy announcements could lead to many hoaxes. Apparently when the Irish Roman Catholic murders were so common in the UK, there were extremely frequent hoax callers at places like Heathrow Airport. But these are all problems to be resolved.
