Better information by officials might have saved lives in the Virginia Tech massacre, an investigation into the deadliest school shooting in US history said.
"Warning the students, faculty and staff might have made a difference," the report said, as cited by CNN. "So the earlier and clearer the warning, the more chance an individual had of surviving."
On April 16, student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 students and staff before taking his own life. Seventeen others were wounded in the shootings.
The several-hundred-page report was issued late Wednesday by an independent group formed by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.
Kaine's Virginia Tech Review Panel, which includes former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, looked at the shooting and police response as well as the mental-health system that failed to identify Cho as a threat before his rampage.
The university has been criticized for not giving students and staff proper warning after two students were found dead in West Ambler Johnston dormitory around 7 a.m. the day of the killings. The campus remained open and was not locked down after those bodies were found.
