University of Wisconsin police say they are as prepared as they can be for a tragedy like the one that occurred Monday on the Virginia Tech campus, where more than 30 people were killed in a shooting rampage.
And UW-Madison Dean of Students Lori Berquam stressed that officials are responding to concerned students and reaching out to students who come from Virginia to help them deal with the frightening reality.
“The other component is to make sure our crisis plans are intact and up-to-date. They are pretty comprehensive. It indeed could happen here,” Berquam said.
