A revised report on the April 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech in which 32 students and faculty were killed found university staff had notified their own families more than an hour and a half before the general campus was alerted, according to The New York Times. The revised report also said the university had conflicting emergency notification policies and it took 17 minutes for the campus police chief to get in touch with the executive vice president after he learned of the shootings. The report also found university staff had failed to heed indications of instability in the shooter's mental health history, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
