33 people dead, the deadliest school attack in U.S. history. But could it have been prevented?

Around 7:15 this morning, two people were killed, and others injured, in a dormitory on campus. Then, two hours later, at least 30 more people were killed in a related attack across campus. My question is this: Is it campus policy to keep classes open when there has been a multiple-murder on campus, and the murderer has yet to be apprehended? That’s right. Classes were open. Students, faculty, and staff weren’t notified until two hours later when e-mails were sent and students saw armed officers swarming the campus. It wasn’t until 10:00 that the school newspaper stated that the campus was on lockdown, and not until 10:20 that classes were cancelled.

Infowars revealed that CNN quoted a student who was outraged at the delay in identifying and stopping the killer.

“What happened today this was ridiculous. And I don’t know what happened or what was going through this guy’s mind,” student Jason Piatt told CNN. “But I’m pretty outraged and I’ll say on the record I’m pretty outraged that someone died in a shooting in a dorm at 7 o’clock in the morning and the first e-mail about it — no mention of locking down campus, no mention of canceling classes — they just mention that they’re investigating a shooting two hours later at 9:22.”

He added: “That’s pretty ridiculous and meanwhile, while they’re sending out that e-mail, 22 more people got killed.”

So what is going on here? Why the delay? Why were classes not cancelled? Why were students not evacuated? Why didn’t police respond sooner? Why? Why? Why?

Amid all these unanswered, and very important questions, we do know that several media outlets are already talking about the lack of security on school and college campuses, and the possible need of airport-type security in the future. Is this incident being used as an emotional appeal to the people to better accept increased police presence and surveillance in our nation’s school system?
