    Default Off Topic - NIU School Shooting


    Hi Everyone,

    It was a crazy day today. I work at Northern Illinois University where there was a campus shooting today with 5 students killed and 17 injured. I can't imagine what it was like for the kids in that classroom. Please send some prayers there way!

    I have a pseudo niece going to school there, she knows one of the victims. Terrible, terrible situation. Drives me nuts that this kinda of stuff happens. My daughter is same age and off at college. Make me scared, and I can't stand it!

    These shootings seem to be getting more frequent and nothing we can do to stop them. Don't think anyone has the answers. Verry sad. All we can do is pray for those kids and their familys. Hopefully things will change and these kind of headlines won't be the norm. JoyJoy, hope you get through this OK, I'm sure it will take some time.
    I just KNOW it was a big one!!!

    Dittos. When we require our populace to be sheep, the wolves will always be well fed. I can't help but think that the firest time an attacker finds himself facing 20 concealed handguns that this will slow down alot. Until then, I just wish all the networks would agree to withhold any discussion or pictures of the shooter - deny his 15 minutes of fame.
