You can't secure an entire campus in that fashion. Unfortunately, the only thing to do at this point is to find anyone affiliated with the shooting and "nail them to the wall" legally. For instance, if any of the weapons were provided to the gunman in an unauthorized fashion, the people who provided the weapon should be jailed for life. If the shooter was still a minor, his parents should be arrested and investigated for any sort of complicity.

That's the only thing that can be done at this point.

nJohn is on a distinguished road
I was recently a student at NIU and I must say this is shocking and devastating. I just transferred from the university due to the racial slurs and wall threats last semester in early December. The campus and overall atmosphere just didn't seem right so I got my butt out of there. My prayers are with all the NIU families.
