Ashtyn Norris had a familiar experience when police searching Tutwiler Hall Sunday night told her and her roommate to stay in their room, lock the door and not to open it for anyone. When Norris was a high school junior, her school was put on lockdown after it received a threatening letter. Norris’ mother, Angela Gair, said the response from the high school was immediate and widely spread. “Within minutes, I received a text, a phone call, an email and there was something posted on the Facebook page about the school,” Gair said. “This is a public school in Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.” But when Tutwiler Hall was put on lockdown and searched after unconfirmed reports of a gunman in the area and an anonymous death threat was posted on YouTube, The University of Alabama did not send any notification until nearly two hours after the threat was widely posted on social media sites and shared over text messages.
