I was literally on a university campus. The entire campus was on lockdown even though the person with a gun was only seen by one person in the parking garage. They had individual security members doing rounds on different floors of each building and alerts sent via text and email telling people to shelter in place until further notice.
It’s not that it guarantees nobody leaves, but it makes it so there are fewer people wandering around unidentified while they’re looking for a dangerous suspect or suspects.
That’s why people were getting scolded for leaving the rooms where they were sheltering to even go to the bathroom while security was doing rounds.
The last uni campus I was on, when we had an active shooter, they locked down 2 buildings, and the area between them. No reason to lock down buildings clear on the other side of campus, keeping people in possible harms way.
I guess different schools, different rules, but locking down 36,000 people on a 1000 acre campus seems… Hardly effective.
I feel like a sharp shooter on a roof always calls for some extreme safety precautions. Sending people scrambling out in the open to their cars seems like the worst idea.

I mean, it’s better than containing a bunch of soft targets in confined areas… like literally shooting fish in a barrel.
I mean, it’s not like cops are going to come to save you, look at Uvalde if you think otherwise.
Me? I’m getting the fuck OUT of a kill zone, not locking myself in one. The wider people spread, the better it is for all involved.
