Here\'s an update with what\'s been going on. The latest autopsy report stated that he died from a torn artery in his neck during the attack.
Yesterday was absolutely horrific. They had a university meeting where the President was going to explain what happened and what the immediate course of action would be. All the news cameras from Philly were there as well as New York (which is big). During the Q&A, the crowd turned. One of the biggest complaints was the cops sitting in the apartments writing nothing but drinking tickets instead of patroling the streets and criticizing the cops for sitting around in parking lots and talking (both of which are true). Then, there were pro-school kids fighting against anti-school kids (pro meaning saying the school did nothing wrong and anti, like myself, who don\'t feel safe and want change). Eventually, it got so bad that it was effectively ended. Even the news people started to leave. The campus was pretty much outraged at everything. Emotions of anger and fear were obviously evident. I was shown on the evening news when they aired a segment of the meeting (thankfully they didn\'t air any of the free-for-all. I thought a riot was gonna happen).
On my way back to my apartment, I see a cop from 3 towns away drive by with sirens blaring. I hear news helicopters in the air. I get back to my apartment and start talking to my neighbor about the disaster of a campus meeting and explaining the drama that happened. I go into my room to unwind and get my stuff together to work on a project when I get a text message alert saying that there was a "police emergency" in an oncampus apartment and to stay away.
My neighbor comes in and yells to me to get in the truck because they were going to the scene. I jump in and we go. As we\'re going there, there were all these out of town cops and the county SWAT team suiting up. We were like "shit, this has to be big". I join in a crowd that was looking on while I was talking to a campus security officer. She told me that all they could say was it was a depressed individual. SWAT went in and pulled a kid out. Keep in mind, there were like 3 news choppers and all these news vans filming. They pull a kid out and it turned out to be unrelated. It was just some kid who called into campus public safety threatening to kill himself.
My campus has just been a mess but today was much better. There was only one news van and it wasn\'t there for long so things are hopefully going to start to move on. I\'m going home on friday just to get away from everything. Changes are being made so I\'m starting to feel safer and more at ease.
