”From my kid who is a UT alumni and works at the Blanton, he was totally impressed with the warnings that were put out to include, sirens, and blocking off the campus. He called us right away to let us know he was okay. From a parent standpoint, thank you for prompt response to a tragic affair.”
“I echo the sentiments of other parents of UT students in saying a big Thank You to the University staff and UT police and other law enforcement for their swift action and especially for keeping everyone informed. My daughter was in Gregory at the time. We're all rattled but OK.”

“I am a graduate student at UT. The University runs practice sirens every month so we know what they are when they go off during an event like today. They also sent texts messages and email alerts that instructed us what to do. Myself, I was on the bus into campus and it turned around and wouldn't let us off anywhere near UT. You will never be able to prevent this from happening 100%, but as a student I feel that the University and law enforcement took every reasonable action to keep me safe and most importantly kept me informed so I could keep myself safe.”
