NORMAL – Questions and criticisms surfacing regarding the decision to not send out an emergency alert after a mass shooting near Illinois State University Sunday. Six people, including two minors, were injured in the shooting at 2:40 a.m. in the 700 block of Franklin Avenue, just south of campus. ISU Police Chief Aaron Woodruff says he supports the decision to forgo the alert. Since then, Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza, and others, have publicly criticized the university, saying on Facebook that she was “disappointed” there was no alert as there have been in similar incidents near campus in the past.
