Virginia Tech Shooting (Again)

[Nikachelle]

Looks like another shooting is... errr... well.... in progress at Virginia Tech, since it looks like they haven't caught the guy yet. I think the last one was in 2007?

The University has much improved in their responsiveness to the crisis, I will say.

[Arnock]

Agreed, looks like they actually warned the students this time around.

[Thalia]

I wonder what warning system they have.

Where I went to University they had rape/distress beacons all over the school. We just pushed the button and the alarm would sound around the school. No one ever misuse it either.

Hope they catch him soon.

[Brekkie]

Yeah, a lot of schools have those buttons nowadays, and gratifyingly everyone seems to take them seriously.

The impression I got is that VTech has been utilizing a text-message phone tree to pass running updates.

That school can't get a break
