As it says on the link above, there was a shooting at Northern Illinois University today.

My deepest sympathy to anyone who lost a family member or friend in the shootings. The gunman is confirmed dead.
R.I.P NIU Students 2/14/08

yes i seen that on the news so sad ehat the hell has goting into people that could do such a thing

so have they figured out that guns really do kill people???


Family and friends of the wounded and killed may godspeed you peace

I am so sick that things like this keep happening. Prayers to all....

Prayers going out...

Over population. They have done studies where they keep cramming animals into a small habitat and eventually when it gets too full a few of the animals will snap and start killing off the others until the population reaches a stable rate again. Could explain why this seems to be happening again and again these past couple years. Of course you can attribute almost everything wrong with this world to over population.

OMG that took me to a site telling about the shootings and...

Asking people for good photos of it and telling them they will pay for pics...


It is horrible that this happened... why do they feel a need to show us too?

why wont this crap stop

because people coddle their children and we're all winners. that crap right there makes reality hard to deal with and people crack up.

Lets all band together for a big group ((((((((HUG))))))))). My prayers go out to the families and friends that lost loved ones. Lets be lovers-not fighters.

thanks for the thoughts. I go to NIU and actually avoided the area of the shooting (by sheer coincidence) because I went to class early to meet a friend to study. It's been a very, very rough day and am just amazed at the support (not only locally but globally) that has been shown for everybody that has been involved. As I waited for my class at 3:30 (the shooting was around 3ish I believe) there was a girl who came up to the building I was in crying and then she fell to the floor. I only saw her briefly before she turned her back towards me, so at first I thought she was the one who was shot. It was a very confusing few hours but around 8 PM CST the president of NIU (John Peters) gave a press conference announcing that there were 6 people dead (including the gunman) and 22 injured. I had a class in the room last year and am just surprised that everybody who was shot didn't die. The stage is high and everybody is in a chair so the only way to get hit is the chest or head. (so far 2 of the 3 or 4, it isn't clear how many, people who were shot in the head have died).

Thanks for all of your support.
