Why are we so far removed? Do you know how all the black boxes in your world operate...
McNamara urged students to be on the lookout for the perpetrator, who she said "seems to fit in" with students. She said they should approach unfamiliar visitors and ask if they need help. Students should call HUPD if they are still suspicious, she said...
