[QUOTE="50Shooter, post: 4013034, member: 1026"] I know people who were there. There were no confetti poppers, fireworks, cars backfiring, etc. This entire event was fabricated completely by a person knowingly making a false report via phone. It was exactly a "swatting" type incident. There was no loud noise or threatening behavior on OU's campus that evening. It was a horse's arse probably using VOIP with a VPN calling from outside the US. The random guy using public wi-fi in some 3rd world country will likely never be identified. Hopefully all the LE agencies involved will use what they learned to make future responses occur just as quickly but with better interagency communications. Everybody responding had radios but many of them could not talk to the agency with jurisdiction (who arrived on scene first and were responsible for Incident Command) or other responding agencies. At this point there are no "training points" for the responders needed. Everyone knows their jobs and are ready to execute the response. The larger fixes, like the communications problems, are issues that can only be fixed with large amounts of funding that currently don't exhist. While OU has property all over the state, Norman Campus is roughly half a mile wide (east to west) by 2 miles long (north to south). There are routinely over 30,000 people in that space on weekdays. A few days a year that number is well over 100,000 in that space. [/QUOTE]
