There looks to be 60+ major buildings over the few square miles that make up the main campus. At 4 entrances per building thats only 240 police officers to control those. Maybe another two dozen police cars to block the roads that go thru campus. (I assume you could use City Highway workers to handle the detoured traffic that must now be re-routed around the campus. With support from maybe another dozen officers. )

Now VT has maybe 40 uniformed officers and another 55 or so in Blacksburg. Of course on a Monday morning there would only be maybe 35 on duty. Perhaps another 15 since it was clode to shift change. SO 50 officers max. 60 buildings, a couple of major thruways plus side roads, 1 crime scene, 50,000 people just within the main campus area. And what in 99.9% of the time the perp has run and nobody else will be getting shot at least till police catch up with him.
