Shooting at Northern Illinois

I used to teach there.

I'm trying to get in touch with folks I know there. Fortunately for those I know, the shooting was relatively across campus.

Terrible news. I'm listening to a Chicago station right now to get some updates.

Gunman dead. Possibly 2 others.

Unfortunately, the nearest hospital is not a trauma center. Nearest trauma center is about 35 miles away.

NIU is a fairly large school - about 25-30,000 students. Mostly undergrad and mostly from the greater Chicago region.

It was in a lecture hall that is a typical general use classroom building. The particular room had about 70 students in it.

That's the last I heard. 4 in bad shape but no other confirmed dead according to the press conf.

The president is John Peters who used to be an administrator at UTK.

Four dead and the gunman, per CNN.

God rest the souls of those who were taken so unfairly, and see to a speedy recovery of the wounded.
