WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm an NIU student and I know we have more on this board. Don't go anywhere near King Commons, Cole, Neptune, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking while driving home from work a few minutes ago, it's one of those things where they come in bunches. One instance and it's random. But that gives the next more "courage" to go with their plan. 2 leads to 3. 3 leads to 4. Ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Oh s***, it just crossed my screen. to all. I know it's a big campus, but it still is scary when people you know are around there. A friend of mine sent this to a list I am on There has been a shooting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. A nearby building, Cole Hall, was the site of multiple shootings. About 45 minutes ago students came running into our library frantically in a state of panic. We locked down the library immediately. The campus has been closed. A death has been reported, a faculty member. Other victims also seem apparent. I have no other details. The want the building completely empty so I am leaving work now.

fathom Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) I've heard at least one person is DOA, and there's rumors of multiple shooters. Hopefully the report that the shooter took their own life is accurate. Edited February 14, 2008 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The students are all on lockdown, so they might not post right away. This is craziness, it happened right in my old stomping grounds of the NIU Communications Dept (graduated a little over 2 years ago) and I stayed in Neptune for a year. I hope all of my teachers are alright. CNN reporting 18 injured. No deaths reported though rumor says the gunman took his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 PS: Thumbs up to CNN for covering the shooting. Thumbs down to MSNBC for burring their head in the sand and going Obama / CLinton wall to wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I definitely think that the "get posting" thing was that we wanted everyone to check in so we knew that all was safe. I don't need to know what happened other then our fellow soxtalkers are ok.... and that no one is very seriously hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This really gets closer and closer, Hope all is well at NIU. Thoughts and Prayers all around. I go to ISU and have friends at NIU, all are alright so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
