So if you remember, I made a thread about the shooting threat at NIU. Well, we did in fact have that shooting today. Everything is going on right outside my window. It's disturbing. You can hear the news helicopter so clearly, and there are firetrucks and ambulances from several neighboring cities here. It's such a strange feeling. I can't even begin to describe it...
Sucks. My friend says some guy killed a psychiatrist with a meat cleaver a couple blocks from her apt. and he's on the loose.
Isn't there somewhere safe you can get to? I'd be trying to get away completely...but...sounds kinda hard with police and the like all over the place.
Yeah, I was watching on the news. I know a ton of cats that go to Northern, but haven't been able to get a hold of anyone yet.
A viewer who e-mailed CBS 2 said that her brother was in the lecture hall where the shooting happened. "He says that the gunmen was a white male dressed in all black. He kicked the door in and opened fire. My brother dove under the desk, and popped his head up to see the gunmen was reloading. He grabbed his girlfriend's hand and ran to the library where they been in lockdown since." phew, us asians are off the hook this time
CNN is reporting that the suspect was distraught due to his father's job being moved to a neighboring state thanks to all you who illegally download.
yeah, sorry, i just had to add that before anyone else did. this does not change that this shooting is fucked up. the hospital is keeping a running tally of the number of victims it is taking in. 13 so far.
