One of a modern parent's nightmares is finding out there's a gunman on campus at their children's school. It's hard to get information in and out of that situation and it's incredibly nerve wracking.

So what if a student knows how to Twitter?

In a recent incident at the University of Richmond, a report of an armed man on campus brought a lockdown. Students were able to get information in and out and comfort each other using Twitter.

A librarian I follow posted it to Twitter.
