ROGUE06 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Alright so this is absolutely crazy, there is a shooting at my school Northern Illinois University. The building it took place at is right next to where I was just in class. We had a possible threat last semester right before finals so people are thinking this is related. Luckily noone I know is hurt. Link to post Share on other sites

ROGUE06 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Man.so lame potatoes. glad you're ok.also,FCP beats CNN for news update? yea basically, the basic info I know is.This happened at Cole Hall, it's a lecture room that can hold up to like 500 ppl. Prolly only like 200ish ppl in the room when this happened. In the front, there is a stage with curtains where the professor would be. I guess the gunman popped out from that area behind the curtains with a ski mask that had a shotgun and a pistol. And we had a death threat on our finals week at the end of last semester, don't know if theres any connection.A freshman sorority girl has gotten shot from what I heard.

Wandigo 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 From CNN.com Most of the 13 wounded were shot in the head, said Theresa Comitas, spokeswoman for Kishwaukee Community Hospital, located about 10 minutes from the school.According to the Chicago Tribune, the DeKalb County coroner's office said no fatalities had been immediately reported.A local hospital tells CNN affiliate CLTV that it expects to receive 15 patients and has so far treated at least two.CLTV reports that Kishwaukee Medical Center in DeKalb is treating six people with head wounds.A woman named Corrine described the scene to CLTV, saying she was "carried out" of Cole Hall by a "wave" of students running for their lives."When one of the kids said, 'This guy is shooting!' I just ran to the next building as fast as I could and hid in an empty classroom."Officers responded to a call of shots fired on campus around 3 p.m., DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott told the Tribune.A professor at the school said there was a person with a gun in Cole Hall, a large lecture hall in Watson Hall. Scott said it was possible the assailant may have taken his own life.The university had ordered its student body to seek shelter, and it canceled classes Thursday."Its has been confirmed that there has been a shooting on campus and several people have been taken away by ambulance," the school said in a posting on its DeKalb campus Web site. "All classes are canceled on the DeKalb campus. People are urged not to come to campus."A law enforcement official being briefed on the situation tells CNN that the shooter used at least a shotgun. The official declined to be identified further because the incident was still developing.An spokesman with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tells CNN that some of its agents are on the scene -- strictly in an assistance role. He says one of the things ATF agents would do is help trace the weapon or weapons used. An FBI spokesman says several of that agency's agents were also en route to the scene to assist.
