CHARLOTTESVILLE — Relatives of several victims of the Virginia Tech shootings yesterday pleaded with a panel investigating the killings to assign accountability for the tragedy and issue tough recommendations to help prevent similar disasters.
PETERSBURG, Va. — The panel reviewing the Virginia Tech shootings likely will issue broad recommendations for all the agencies involved — from police to universities to the mental-health community — the panel's chairman said.
He also said just as victims cannot serve on juries, relatives of the victims should not serve on the review panel.
"I have made public statements dealing with the police response to Norris Hall, knowing that after their arrival that within five minutes they were on the second floor," Mr. Massengill said. "I have said or have tried to respond to that in a complimentary way, because I think that was a response that saved lives. But that does not halo other issues within law enforcement."
