KALAMAZOO, MI (AP)-- Western Michigan University officials say they will improve how the school communicates during emergencies after it didn't issue an alert during the series of weekend shootings a few miles from campus.
The Kalamazoo school's leaders heard from dozens of students Monday night, including some who criticized the school's response or who had ideas about improving the alert system.
University President John Dunn says the alert system is set up to warn of threats to the campus and people on it. However, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports that Dunn apologized, saying the school "did not meet your expectations."
The school's public safety chief, Scott Merlo, says there was a "breakdown in communication."
An Uber driver has been charged in the attacks, which killed six people and wounded two others.
