"Also, do you think schools or classrooms can be designed in anyway to make them less shooter-friendly ??"

From the Hartford Courant (CT) at http://www.courant.com/chi-070417vtech-shootings,0,3443502.story?track=mostviewedlink

"Among the dead was a professor, Liviu Librescu. Students who were in Librescu's engineering class at Norris Hall told the Tribune late Monday that the professor tried to protect the students in his class when they realized a gunmen was loose in the building... Librescu, went to the door and pushed himself against it in case the shooter tried to come in."

Maybe they should start with some locks on the doors?

From the same source:
"Cho was an English major whose creative writing was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service... but she said she did not know when, or what the outcome was."

Are there any gamblers here who want to bet that the word describing the outcome wasn't "nothing"?
