Yes they could have locked everything down. but it would have been impractical and unnessisary for a murder investigation. The size of the campus would make it difficult to effectively lockdown anyway. Think about the amount of police it would take to effectivly lock down a small town. To put a cops at every entrance in every building. you'd have to pull people off patrols, etc. Then when more immediate emergancies happen, response time becomes slower...
VT is full of adults, not children. stop thinking of it like its some kind of public high school
Seriously, though. When someone gets murdered, the authorities dont lockdown so much as the neighborhood where the shooting took place. At least, now where i live.
Sure, the shool coulda texted, e-mailed, phoned everyone. "so-n-so got murdered, unknown suspect still on the loose." But Ya know what the students and staff woulda done? went to friggin class.
and even if they did lock the place down, they didn't have a clue who they were looking for. and its not like everyone gets shut up in thier own little closets. the kid woulda been near people, and if a lockdown went into effect, he prob woulda just shot up whatever building he was in anyway.
oh. And murders ARE an everyday occurance. And Santa Clause doesnt exist. And a stork didn't drop you down a chimney.

**** saying "oh well" may do no more to help the situation than idealist whinnig, but wastes alot less time and people could go on prenting the world is perfect.
