I agree with shinerbock on this. I keep hearing "they should have locked down the school after the first shooting" but, in almost all domestic violence cases, the violence is limited. OJ didn't go shooting up a whole bunch of people, Steven Grant (recent Michigan news) didn't kill anybody other than his wife, etc. There's no precedent or reason to believe that someone who kills their significant other in a domestic issue is going to go on to kill a bunch of others. I'm sure that if an ex/husband came into my building and killed his ex/wife and left the building, they wouldn't keep the whole building on shutdown for long. Hindsight is 20/20.
ETA: Anger is a common reaction to grief and they are looking for someone to blame or be angry at. The only person who should bear the brunt of the anger is the murderer, but he is already dead, so it makes it harder.
