Gunman kills 7, 16 more injured here at NIU..

[Ante]

For anyone who hasn't already heard, here's a link to a local paper.

A guy walked into a packed theater-style lecture hall and just started pumping shotgun blasts down range into the crowd. I walk past that building almost daily. I don't know anybody who's been injured as far as I know as they're slow to release names so far. The gunman shot himself on stage after emptying most of his shells. No motive so far. It was creepy; squad cars, ambulances, and helicopters everywhere, like fireflys. And it's weirder yet for me because I live on the road that goes to the hospital so every 5 minutes another ambulance would go flying by and I knew every one of them contained another bleeding or dead person. And the footage of Cole Hall with the glass blown out and everything- I've bought chips and stuff -right- behind those windows.

Keep everyone here in your thoughts and your flags at half staff; there should be another press conference from the hospital @ 11:00 and you can google the 9:30am NIU one if you care to. I'll let everyone know if I hear any more information that might not be available on the news yet.
