'Several people' injured in NIU shooting -- chicagotribune.com

Have you heard about this? Looks like there were some students wounded, but so far none confirmed dead.

Terrible....

I just heard about this! I'm a graduate of NIU so this is very sad. What is wrong with people, what is with all these shootings?!

Going to hell in a handbasket... they are going to start taking security measures VERY seriously at all campuses now... as if they didn't after Vtech! We'll have to find out more details.

Very few details so far. I would expect to see more media coverage later tonight and tomorrow.

I just turned on the TV and saw this. Sickening. So close after Tinley Park. Just heartwrenching.

edit to add, I just heard that the gunman is dead. They are now saying at least 18 victims and they don't know yet how many are dead.

I just posted this on the suburban board. Unbelievable. Just got wind of this at work about 10 minutes ago. I wonder what happened??? The gunman was found dead, this is insane. No other words to describe it.

My heart goes out to those affected by this crap. Youre right, it is indeed sickening. According to the link I posted, there were 2 confirmed people that were shot, no fatalities, and at least 15 rushed to area hospitals. Gunman pronounced dead inside one of the halls.

Its gut wrenching!!!! Those poor people. On Valentine's Day of all days, too!!!! Sad, truly sad.

Its time for all good citizens of this world to take a stand against this crap. Let all the criminals and low-life, no good, subhuman, scum-sucking losers that theyre far outnumbered. Im f'in fed up with hearing bad news all the dang time.
