Virginia Tech Response

As outsiders not involved with the Virginia Tech shootings, we obviously have no clue what occured or how the events were handled. All that is being offered at this point is speculation on wether or not the situation was handled properly by the University. I am on the side of the university with how this was handled. The campus police at the time treated the shootings in Ambler hall as a domestic event, which in the overwhelming majority of murders is correct. Most people who are murdered are murdered by someone they know, not by a crazy person who will go on to kill dozens. At the time the only lead for the police was the boyfriend of the girl who was killed who ent to Radford. At this point the dorm was locked down and police were there as well as looking for the suspected shooter. No one gave evidence to lead in the direction of Cho Seung-Hui. What occured next was not something that could be anticipated or expected it was an event that happens not even once in a lifetime and there was no way to anticipate. The actions of the university will be investigated, Im sure findings will take quite a while to come out and when they do we will know the true story. As for right now lets not overlook the fact that the campus police are not to blame, there is only one person to blame and he took the cowards way out and is dead.
