There was a shooting at Haas business school. Police are on scene and everything is under control. One suspect is in custody and there are no further suspects. Please avoid the area around Haas until police have cleared the area.

Corey said...: Qualifying my comment at 3:04 - I think it is still unclear whether the person taken to the hospital was the gunman (shot by police) or a victim (shot by the gunman); 11/15/2011 3:17 PM

A. Fong said...: Berkeley's IT department is in a sad state of affairs generally -- just look at the atrocity that is Telebears.; 11/15/2011 9:45 PM

It's unlikely that the IT department has much to do with the speed with which content is published. There are probably non-technical staff in the the Public Affairs Office and the Chancellor's Office who can publish emergency content on the campus homepage.; 11/15/2011 9:58 PM
A. Fong said...: 9:58, I should have clarified -- parts of berkeley.edu were down while the messages were going out. That I do blame IT for.

Also, whoever designed the WarnMe system should at least have had the text messages mirrored on the berkeley.edu website. That's a design flaw that IT could remedy.; 11/15/2011 10:01 PM
Anonymous said...: 9:58 here.

Thanks, Andrew. I didn't realize that berkeley.edu was down this afternoon. It's certainly fair to blame IT for that.

And I agree that messages sent out via the warnme system should be mirrored on the campus homepage somewhere.; 11/15/2011 10:04 PM
