I understand how you feel
but, let's say you knew by 8 - 8:15 am that two students had been shot.
If the students fled the campus they could have been easy targets, much like the tower sniper incident in Texas.
or
If the students went into buildings and locked the doors, 50. 60 or more could have been locking themselves inside with a killer.
I think what happened is because the police were told that the girl had gone shooting with her boyfriend, that he had guns.
and 90+% of the time this type of thing is a relationship gone wrong killing.
Someone catches someone with someone else, they lose it. It is called a crime of passion.
So her BF became the person of interest.
I am sure the School authorities and law enforcement are feeling absolutely terrible.
I just don't see a real dereliction of duty. Unless I learn something more.
Again I am so sorry for all your loss.
But, what if we all got the e-mail, and he didn't because he was off campus mailing a package. At least some people in the classroom in Norris, probably would not have went, if it was their first class of the day. People who lived off campus would've never driven over.
We don't know whether or not he was packing heat when he went to the post office, and if he went straight to nor. afterwards or back to his room.
I don't know what would've changed. But I do know this:
If I had gotten word about Ryan's murder sooner, I would've sent e-mails out to all of my students, and told them to stay inside, and tell their friends to do the same.
Maybe it is just me wishing I could've done something. Of course, we all wish things were different, and that this could've been prevented and not happen at all. I realize most of my posts in here are probably incoherent and illogical. These are just raw emotions. I need to express them. I figure, better to express them here than in a news interview, where my words can be twisted into something else.
For the record, once he was out of AJ, he could not have gotten back inside. The dorms are locked and you need to swipe a card to get inside. Someone let him inside AJ. He had access to his own hall, but that is it. He couldn't have gone anywhere else. Since his dorm was right next to AJ, it is possible that once being told that a student was shot on campus, my colleague, who is the hall director of the shooter's hall, could've shut the dorm down entirely, so that NOBODY could get in. even if they had a card.
but again...this is all irrational and emotional speculation.
. Feel absolutely helpless with taking away the pain of those who are suffering.
