Virginia Tech shooting response critiqued

Authorities at Virginia Tech will not escape scrutiny for their actions in the hours between two shooting sprees that left 33 people dead, the chairman of a governor-appointed review panel said Tuesday.

The report will be unflinching in assigning fault for failures and misjudgments, Massengill said. He would not discuss any specific points in the working draft of the report, a copy of which was delivered to Gov. Timothy M. Kaine last weekend.
