Six Dead in NIU Shooting

We should be be getting familiar with this song. Columbine, Virgina Tech, and now NIU.

ABC 7 Chicago Article
DEKALB, Ill. (WLS) -- A gunman who opened fire at an NIU lecture hall Thursday afternoon -- killing five and injuring more than a dozen people -- shot himself to death, police said.

NIU President John Peters said there were 22 casualties in total - six deaths and 16 injuries.

Four females and two males, including the shooter, died. Four people, including the shooter, died on the scene. Two victims died at the hospital. All of the five victims were undergraduates.

Eighteen victims were sent to hospitals. Most went to Kishwaukee Community Hospital. Six victims, the most critically injured, were transported via helicopter to other hospitals - three to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, two to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, and one to Rockford Memorial. One male died at St. Anthony.
I don't know where this thread should go. Moderators, thanks if you move it else where.

Oh...

Happy Valentines day.
