I think it was irresponsible of the administration not to have done so. And yes, had there been someone to intervene, this might have turned out differently. Unfortunately, the law abiding were the only ones disarmed. There's a lesson there that will be completely lost on the gun control advocates.

He ended it by shooting himself in the head. The police did not get there in time to stop him. The only chance would have been if the murderer was taken down by a victim and since every one was hiding in the classrooms that did not occur. A shame that VT would not allow CCW on the campus.
