I am very sorry for your loss. I went to Florida State University and still live in Tallahassee. I have many friends and family who still attend class. Virginia Tech’s baseball team was just in town over the weekend for a series. We are all in shock here. There is a general feeling around town that this could have easily happened here. Virginia Tech and Florida State are both in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

I know the FSU administration is being proactive. They started asking students for cell phone numbers and other contact information to be able to quickly broadcast information in the even of an emergency. They also activated a school wide PA system. It's pretty amazing how quickly they have organized everything.
