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.
