5 people died thursday afternoon as a heavily armed man entered a lecture Hall at Northern Illinois University. The University said that the Gunman who shot and killed himself was a graduate student in sociology who last enrolled in the spring of 2007. The man killed 4 women and a man in a brief rapid fire. In total there were 21 victims. The Gunman was armed with a shotgun and 2 handguns and opened fire in the lecture hall around 3pm. Students told the press that someone dressed in black came out from behind a screen at the front of the classroom and opened fire with a shotgun. People were crawling on eachother, and trampling eachother in attempt to get to the back of the hall.
To me this is just brutal, this is the 4th school shooting in the past week in the states. Gun violence is becoming a real issue and definetly has to be addressed. There has to be better security on school campuses. Schools arent becoming the safe and fun learning environment, but is becoming much more violence filled and dangerous.
