I think what the press is making a big deal about is a couple of things.
1) There had been some bomb scares in the last couple of weeks, some specifically targeting one of the buildings where the shootings occured. What type of investigation took place and why wasn't security increased?
2) One shooting took place around 8 A.M. and the second took place around 10 A.M.
Why the press is bringing up point two so much is because a grade school close to the campus was completely locked down after the first report of shootings. Why weren't classes cancelled and students told to stay home or in their dorms??
Also, this was not a spur of the moment type of thing. You know, two guys are at a bar and get into a fight. One leaves and then comes back wth a gun and shoots the other guy. No, for that many people to have been shot, killed and injured, the shooter had to have had a plan. He/she had to have shown some signs of anger or troubled thinking beforehand and told somebody or wrote something down.
My guess is because this was probably a College student and the Technology area seems to have been targeted, the shooter had a MySpace or YouTube account and has posted hints or signs in one of those areas. They might have even posted a reason why they were going to do this.
