Ponyboy, reporters are doing what they've always done. To expect them to change the way they ask questions at a press conference is a lost cause. Maybe it seems like it'd be easy to change that...I mean...they could have them take turns and actually come up with meaningful questions, but even the reporters are in awe of what has happened and are in a rush to get the story. First and foremost, they are trying to do their job. And without them the public wouldn't actually know anything.
Just as the police officers are, and for that they should be given a break. I don't agree that they would've easily been able to capture the killer within those two hours. That's just unrealistic.
Security probably did all they could, although the timeline and not getting the rest of the students off campus is bit sketchy. Then again, it makes sense to block off just one building (where the first two shootings occurred) and not cause panic everywhere else by evacuating and/or warning people through the P.A. system .
