The thing is, there was no way to know that the guy would go off and kill 30 more people. The police suspected that it was a "domestic incident". It would be different if he shot up everybody in the dorm and managed to escape. People saw him arguing with some girl, the girl's RA intervened, and so he shot him and the girl. There really were no indications that it would escalate to anything beyond that.

You can't lock down an entire campus or community every time a person gets shot. Could you imagine if they tried to shut down New York every time a dead body turned up?
