MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Auburn University plans to alert
students more promptly of possible security threats after
complaints over the delay in sending out warnings a student was
killed last week
.
An attorney for the man charged with capital murder in Lauren
Burk
's killing also questioned the circumstances of a statement
that authorities say he gave admitting to kidnapping, robbing and
forcing the student to disrobe before shooting her.
Sorority members at Auburn sought a safety seminar today from a
security expert and Auburn officials said guidelines were being
revised on when and how to alert more than 31,000 students and
others at the university.
Burk was found suffering from a gunshot wound on a roadway about
five miles from campus shortly after 9 p.m. on the night of March 4
and her car was found about 20 minutes later burning in a campus
parking lot. She died that night.
