Default NIU shootings....

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!? I don't get kids today... Seriously, I mean i'm not that old at all, but what the hell is going on? This is the EXACT reason i'm a gun owner.


My thoughts and prayers go out to the familys of the killed/injured.

I was going to also make a thread about this as it hits pretty close to home as I have a TON of friends that go there and ive been there more times I can count for partys and what not but I agree this is so wrong. It happens all over the country now it seems its like a new way of going out with style to these sick basterds and its such a shame. From what I heard there was 18injuredand 5 dead includingthe gunman and 3 people were criticly injured and airlifted to a rockford hospital.

wow My thoughts and prayers also go out to all the families and victims involved this is such a shame that some ******** hates his life and has to take as many people with him as possible. It just makes me sick

I was supposed to be there this year and I have alot of friends up there. You hear about this **** far away in other states and dont realize it can happen so close, putting loved ones of your own in danger.

I dont understand why these people do this either. I heard it may have had to do with a girl, but who gives a **** if his g/f broke up with him there are plenty out there. No need to go ape-**** on anyone. I dont see how he was walking around campus with a shotgun anyway...

Man this ******* sucks and hits really close to home. Glad to hear your friend survived and sorry to hear he was shot and GOD SPEED for a fast and complete recovery.

America needs to arm itself and quick given the recent rash of random shootings and violence. If I had it my way in every College Campus each Professor is ******* armed and proficient with his side arm, so they could take these sick ***** out early b/f they do too much damage. Its sad, but until security and the right of law abiding citizens to protect themselves under the 2nd amendment is stepped up, you will see more and more of this crap.

Illinois is one of the only remaining ******* LIBERAL states that does not allow law abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon for personal protection (thanks to the ******* the City of Chicago, that liberal ******* moron Daley and Cook County).

This is Domestic Terrorism, and we need to arm ourselves in order to be able to protect ourselves, our families and our fellow human beings (who are law abiding good people).

My thoughts and prayers go out to all persons and families affected by this senseless needless violence.

I was only 2 buildings away from the shooting when i noticed just fleets of cop cars flying down the road. We then just walked like every normal day down to the bookstore to get some stuff and noticed mass amounts of people crowded around the Cole Building. We walked into the store and heard an announcement to lock the doors to the store and then they told us what happened.

My friend who i was walking with was real shakin up cuz he had a class there earlier today and my roomate was real disturbed by the event. It is such bullshit that people do these things then take their lives like cowards.

God Bless those that were killed on 2/14. Its a tragedy that young college students, some of which who i knew were killed in this event. RIP my fellow Huskies

It sucks to hear, especially so close to home. I used to be there at Northern every week when my ex used to go there. Scary stuff.
