Why were they not evacuated

There cannot be any logical explanation how a gunman can walk into Virginia Tech and murder two students, then return two hours later and continue his spree until 32 are dead.

The school should have been immediately evacuated at the onset of the first shooting. How the administrative staff and leadership of the school allowed this to take place should be immediately investigated and the offending individuals prosecuted for dereliction of their duty to safely protect the student population.

News reports last night indicated that the Dean felt it was a domestic issue and did not warrant any further action to protect the well being of the students and faculty. That he had no knowledge stating otherwise until two hours later when the killer returned to continue his rampage.

Was the staff's heads so far up their collective butts that they did not feel that a school shooting warrants evacuating the student and faculty?

To be honest, there should be an immediate arrest of any administrative staff on duty during the time of the shooting. Their lack of concern for the safety and well being of the general school population is disgusting and revolting to me as a human being.

The political nonsense that is sure to follow this tragedy will attempt to point the finger at gun control, when the finger should be pointed squarely at the Dean. The total lack of concern for the safety of the students and faculty cannot be overlooked.
