Thank you for your honesty and reflection in this post! I too, was not on this campus in 2007, but I was a student at another school during that time frame. So much mental anguish can come from just hearing about these threats. It can bring up actual events that someone experienced or could trigger thoughts or anxieties around what could happen. Just that you are aware now that your response was not what (or how) others responded brings you to a great place of openness. I agree in the hope that we continue to address difficult issues and responses in higher education.
