Shooting at NIU Just now...

[Grawr]

My brother's in there....oh my god...

EDIT: By the sound of things, he's okay. My mom got a text from him, but she's still trying for more.

College's have been so unsafe lately...

I'm really starting to think Online-college is the way to go.

EDIT: My mom's going to pick him up...jeez this is freaky. Apparently he stayed locked in a room...I think they put the school on lockdown.

I hope he's okay.

Is that Northern Illinois? Wow I hope no one died.

 

[Mino]

I got a little nervous when I first read the article, my brother-in-law goes to a "northern Illinois College."

But wow, I hope he is OK.

 

[Bulerias]

God, that's just crazy. I hope he's OK... hell, I hope everyone's OK.

 

[JJH]

I hope your brother's OK.

BTW, NIU is "Northern Illinois University", right?

Yep it's Northern Illinois University, also 15 wounded at least.

I hope your brother's OK.

What the hell is wrong with people these days? No one is happy unless someone gets hurt....

Hope your bro is okay and everyone else for that mater.

 

[Jman]

Just a little too close to home for me. I'm about 35-45 minutes away.

Kind of scary, I would have never thought this would have happened here. :wacko:
Glad your brother is alright.

 

[Justin]

Woah, hope he's okay.

Thank you all, and yeah, we finally got to actually speak to him. They've got the place on lockdown for the rest of the night it seems, so we can't go pick him up today.

But the school's closing for a while...so he'll be home for that time, starting tomorrow.

Is that Northern Illinois? Wow I hope no one died.

According to the news now, there were 17 "victims". They didn't say that anyone died yet.

But, when we talked to my brother, he said that he saw 2 dead...

 

[Jman]

18 victims now...

Oh, great, they're saying that he wore all black and a black ski mask. :wacko:

 

[Grawr]

I just heard the killer commited suicide before they could get to him.

Man...

It seems that school shootings are beginning to be more common.

This is so wierd...

You see stuff like this on TV, and think it'll never be near you. But recently, we drove through the college, on the exact roads you see here...I've been to this place, in person...

Wow.
