Hastings, I 100 percent agree. This case is beyond bizarre. Many things are not adding up. I thought the university had said before he had no run ins with campus police a few days after this had happened? Anyone remember where I could find that article? I didn't see it anywhere
Shortly after the massacre when the university took the no comment/no releasing information approach it was clear to me that they were trying to get all their ducks in a row in order to avoid litigation and being the focal point in media coverage at a time when emotions were very high. This became more apparent when negative info about the shrink was leaked.
That being said, as someone who has extensive experience in crisis communications public relations, I've never seen a more poorly executed crisis management effort. The university's conflicting statements have only increased their legal liability and raised a plethora of questions.
Law enforcement's conflicting statements and inability to explain several, let's call them, "oddities" is even more perplexing....
