Key details of the revised report
• The local police took more than half an hour longer than was initially believed to begin looking for a suspect, a fact first reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
• At least two members of the university's Policy Group, which was assembled to manage the crisis, let their own families know of the first two shootings more than 90 minutes before the group warned the rest of the campus.
• The university president's office was locked down about 30 minutes before a formal warning was issued to the rest of the campus.
• University officials failed to contact the family of the shooter's first victim, Emily Hilscher, for more than three hours, until after she had died. Hilscher survived for some time after being shot and was taken to two hospitals before she died.
