More Thoughts about the gunman at Ferrum College

I'm wondering if the housekeeper having seen the man with the gun, who told her not to say anything, might have kept him from whatever he had been planning. That, and the immediate response of our law enforcement people, sirens screaming, may have sent him off campus. If so, he may be still hovering...or perhaps making a different decision altogether.

Word is Ferrum decided to begin their spring break now, not returning to classes until the week of 10 March. That sounds like a wise decision to me; the students must be completely traumatized. It would be good for them to be safe and sound in their homes for two weeks, to come down from this near-happening.

I've also heard that there's a pretty good chance this fellow is known on campus. If he is a student at Ferrum, someone will recognize him.

Still shaken. This IS a little too close to home. I alerted my grown kids as it did get on the national news according to my sister-in-law, who immediately remembered I was taking the Holocaust class at Ferrum and was quite worried.
