Edit: What UI Should Have Told Police

In his blog today, editorialist Kevin Richert of the Idaho Statesman focuses on UIdaho’s failure to report to Moscow police that associate professor Ernesto Bustamante had pointed a gun three times at eventual victim Katy Benoit: “Would this have made any difference?

This much is evident: U of I officials did a disservice to police, and to Benoit, by withholding evidence of a series of violent crimes”/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Now that you’ve had time to digest the murder-suicide involving associate professor Ernesto Bustamante and victim Katy Benoit, do you think this tragedy could have been prevented?
