Va. Tech report to serve as blueprint: governor

The death toll in the worst mass killing in modern U.S. history could have been lower if Virginia Tech officials had acted more quickly and responded to early warning signs that the gunman had violent tendencies, a panel said.
A panel that spent four months probing Cho's deadly shooting spree on April 16 in Blacksburg, Va., released its report on Wednesday.
The panel found that school administrators failed to act quickly enough after Cho began shooting.
The panel's report suggested an early warning would have helped protect students and faculty, it said it would have been difficult to lock down all 131 buildings on the campus.
And the report pointed out that although the initial warnings to people on campus could have been issued at least an hour earlier and offered more specific details about the situation, Cho probably would have still continued his shooting spree...
So, in other words, a sensationalist-type headline is later debunked within it's own artcile. Gotta love the media.
