Toledo's Most Cloaked News Story?

I have a couple friends that attend UToledo, and apparently the Toledo SWAT team decided to use UT's campus for practice drills last Monday night. However, some of the students and teachers were not informed of this fact. So, when my friends were exiting class around 10 p.m., they were greeted with flash grenades and gunfire. They ran back to class with the other students to barricade the door, shut off all the lights and make calls to 911 and loved ones. They thought they were in the midst of a Virginia Tech, and thought the flash grenades were bombs. A campus officer came to the classroom to calm and escort the students.
I would think the SWAT team would have made sure to notify every person on campus of such events considering the incidents at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and other places of education. An apology letter was sent to everyone in the class, but I was surprised that this story didn't even make the news considering Carty uproar over the shock that would be caused by Marines practicing in downtown Toledo.
