Some journalists and reporters are merely questioning, but more and more seem to be criticizing the response (or lack of an adequate one) by police and by the university, mostly bringing up the issue of the 2 hour time delay between the first reports of murder and the second shooting spree. Apparently, authorities thought that the gunman had left the premises after the first incident, and some in the media seem to be jumping all over that as if something better could've been done after the first shooting. Is this too soon for the media to be questioning the response by authorities to the situation?
