This thing could have happened anywhere. They did a good job of locking down West Ambler Johnson and didn't want to cause a ruckus on campus because they were still looking for the suspect. If they locked down the campus what happens? The shooter goes into his own dorm and kills everyone in there? That doesn't solve a lot. The President at Tech did his best as did the police. Blacksburg is such a small town that it's not used to any sort of commotion, especially something like this happening. It's a HUGE campus and locking it down does not guarantee any sort of safety.
