The officials handled this situation perfectly. RHF is an established doctrine that can save lives. Could the student body be better educated on this? Sure, but that’s a far cry from criticizing the university’s preparedness or their response to the situation.

As far as just issuing a “shelter in place” warning, that’s the best course of action. The situation was fluid, and spreading misinformation would just lead to panic and more danger. Telling students to remain in their rooms kept them safe and out of the police’s way.

I don’t see where any justification for criticizing the heroic efforts of first responders could possibly come from.
