For keeping the law abiding unarmed.

Here's hoping everyone is alright, except the piece of trash that committed this. To bad no one could of finished him before he started.

Actually, there is no concealed carry anywhere in IL.

My girlfriend was in the Classroom when it happened. Apparently someone shot a shotgun multiple times in to the room, which is a very large lecture hall 400+ seats. She and alot of other students didn't immediately realize what happened, but after the 2nd shot the all started running out of the room.

I was across campus in the engineering building, and managed to get a hold of her. She's really shaken up, and she was hit in the finger by a pellet, but she should be ok.

They have all of the students in one of the large halls in our Student Center for questioning/ medical evals.

Bunk.

veryp ossible. the lecture hall is huge. Also i am hearing from friends that work on NIU that it was a shotgun.

No - bunk that this guy jumped onto some nerd message boards on the interwebs and THIS was his first post.

I can see why you might think that, call me a lurker on Message Boards, I have been reading ATOT for about the past year, but have never felt the need to contribute.

But as far as the situation. My girlfriend was sitting in the Lecture Hall at Cole Autitoruim, in her Geology 104 class, which is the Introduction to Oceanography class.

Her friend was also hit by the shooting and the last I heard he was bleeding fairly badly, I assume that he has been taken to the Kishwakee Hospital.

Also, as far as replying online, I went online because the entire cell phone system here is completely overloaded, I've gotten 6 voice mails, but I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone since I talked to my G/F.

Same crap happened to me in Newark on 9/11. Only way I talked to anyone was online.

Sounds like the shooter used bird shot, due to the number of injuries and the fact that few were serious.

I'm suprised the "no guns allowed" sign at the campus perimeter didn't deter him.

Well, if that is in fact the case, I hope she's alright.

okay he was one of the guys shot in the back of the head, but my friends say that he was laughing and cracking jokes like he always does, before he was shipped off to the hospital, so he's fine for the most part...

Phew.

Pellet? Bleeding? Unless it was spent, shot would do some nice damage, more or less depending on what he was using.

Not really depending on range an if it was previously deflected.

Bah, most school shootings are done by white boys anyway. The VT kid just had some aimbot hax going on.

surely, you read it, and could post ""Martinez said the assailant was a white man and he was carrying a large gun." instead of making my lazy ass clicking on the article.
