Madness
I am appalled by the seemingly never ending miseries that are witnessed every single day across the globe. It’s very nasty out there…
The latest school shooting takes place at NIU!
This is the first alert that went up on the NIU homepage:
3:20 p.m.
There has been a report of a possible gunman on campus. Get to a safe area and take precautions until given the all clear. Avoid the King Commons and all buildings in that vicinity.
With minutes left in a class in ocean sciences at Northern Illinois University on Thursday afternoon, a tall skinny man dressed all in black stepped out from behind a curtain on the stage of the lecture hall, said nothing, and opened fire with a shotgun, the authorities and witnesses said. Killing 7 and injuring more than 20.
When the gunman first burst in, Mr. McEnery said, the classroom turned loud and chaotic with some students shouting, “He has a gun!” and “Call 911!”
Then came an eerie silence, but for the bullets. “Once he settled in and started shooting people, pretty much everyone was quiet,”
The gunman had been a graduate student in sociology at the university in 2007, but was no longer enrolled. Records suggested that the man, who had more recently attended a different state school, had no previous police contact, the authorities said.
This is sick! It rally is a jungle out there!
My prayers go out to the victims and condolences to their families as they try to cope with their loss.
