I'm guessing he planned and trained to a very large extent maybe for months. Judging that he only had 2 hand guns.

Maybe not. They found a receipt for the guns. They were purchased in March. Two guns that hold 10 rounds each (federal hi-cap mag ban) gives him 20 bullets. He may have (very likely) reloaded between the first shooting and the second. It's also likely that he had at least 2 extra clips for each gun (kinda hard to kill 32 students with only 20 bullets, unless some of those bullets went through multiple people).

Regarding the lockdown, I'm kind of torn. Sure, maybe they didn't realize he was still on the loose. But here's a question. Two students were first killed. They shutdown that building and assumed the situation was under control (based on what I don't know). Maybe they looked through that building, found no one, and assumed the gunman had left the campus. In that case, there's still the possibility of a gunman on the loose. It's also possible that they had started to look through the building, but hadn't completed the search yet. Either way, IMO, a gunman was on the loose. They did send out emails to students telling them to stay in their rooms. Would it not have been better to sound some kind of alarm? I know if I was in a situation like this, email is the last tool I would consider using. There must be some kind of automated system that can dial all the dorm rooms. Failing that, send administration people out to the separate buildings to start notifying students. Send an email as well, but don't let that be the only tool you use. It's been reported that several students were walking between classes at the time the emails were sent. That means they weren't at a computer and couldn't receive email.

I'm not saying the administration didn't try to warn students, I'm saying that I don't think they tried hard enough. Of course, I don't believe they should be fired either. They made a mistake. They need to learn from it and put systems in place (assuming systems aren't there already) to inform large numbers of students quickly and easily.
