I suspect that the guys at VT are kinda busy right now . . .

One thing that we might discuss and / or add to the risk management book is a brief instruction on what to do for a campus event where we are unharmed but media attention will result.

There was a shooting at a fraternity house next to ours at Fullerton a couple of years ago. Nobody with LXA was involved or hurt. I directed that we implement the response plan and that Indy be notified that (1) There was a shooting, (2) We are OK, (3) We were not involved, and (4) Press contact was to be done in accordance with the plan. I thought that this was the best course of action and Indy agreed.

What I did wasn't exactly "in" the plan and a specific instruction to do this might be in order. VT may well have done just this but we may never know. A predictable response might be a good thing to work on.

BTW, the house next to ours had NO CLUE what a response plan was. I shared ours.
