April 16th marks the second anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings, and just last week 13 people died at the hands of a lone gunman in Binghamton, New York. If such an incident were to occur at Texas State, officials say they are prepared. E-mails would be sent to students, faculty, and staff as well as text messages to subscribers of Mobile Campus. A siren would sound an alarm. Message boards would flash essential information. And local police departments are trained to use lethal force to quickly end violence. If you need to report an incident, call 9-1-1 or use one of the emergency boxes on campus.
