Safety experts have praised Delaware State University’s speedy response to the shootings on its campus early Friday morning. The shootings, which left one student injured and in stable condition and another in serious condition, were reported to the campus police at 12:54 a.m.
College officials immediately began calling resident assistants in the dormitories to gather students in the hallways, and by roughly 4 a.m., according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, all 1,200 people living in campus housing had been told of the shootings. Safety experts praised the university’s approach of using multiple methods of contacting those on the campus: phone calls, a statement on the Web site, personal visits, and handbills around the campus.
