I am utterly horrified by the events that unfolded on the campus of Virginia Tech this morning.
There are several folks already starting to point fingers at responsible parties, blaming University officials for mistakes made. It is not time to rush to judgment on what happened. It’s time to pray for the people involved and their families. Even now, there are parents at home with kids at VT who don’t know the full story and haven’t even been able to get answers.
I do hope that in the wake of this event, all schools review lock down procedures and communication lines for emergencies. What would we do at Wayland? I am not sure everyone has the same answers and that may be a problem. Who wants to have to plan for an event like this?
May God comfort those who have suffered and provide officials with wisdom to handle the road ahead.
