The guy was still on the loose and they went "business as usual", the first shooting should've canceled classes and thrown the campus into a lockdown. Police should've been searching the campus for this guy in those two hours after the first shooting. As it appears now I would say that the response was a complete failure.

I don't know about a lockdown, though that seems easy to say in hind sight. I think if I was administration there I would have alerted both faculty and security. That school has over 20,000 students. Going in to lockdown is easier said than done.
