What a crazy story. This was probably thought up by the college administrators rather than the local police. I am a university student signed up for our text and email alert system, but I always have my phone off in class. Its a big security hole I hadn't thought about. We cannot legally carry on campus, and I do not, but these stories about shootings, and even drills, sure makes me wonder what I should be doing. I will continue to abide by the law, but this kind of crap better never happen in my department (Everyone is armed with knives).
