I know that if I go somewhere unfamiliar, I seek out the available exits...mainly in case there is a fire.
Who was responsible for protecting these young people on their campus? (I won't call them kids, now I know they were in their twenties)
Have any lessons been learned from other episodes like this, where gunmen have indescriminately killed students?
And just a thought.......aren't we being a bit insensitive to be discussing what the students MIGHT have done to save lives.

No, we aren't being insensitive. That's one of the problems, actually. Ultimately, I think you have to be responsible for yourself. I wish these students, teachers, and campus security guards had had the opportunity to arm themselves appropriately. Unfortunately, that was denied to them. This restriction did not, however, deter the psycho who gunned them down.
