Illinois School Shooting - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 15th Feb 08 at 3:24am
Did you all hear about this? Valentine's Day Massacre is what I'm calling it. {Unsure}

School shootings are becoming all too familiar in the states, and something needs to be done about it.

Quote:
DEKALB, Ill. - A former graduate student armed with two handguns and a shotgun opened fire Thursday in a large lecture hall on the campus of Northern Illinois University, killing five students and wounding 16 others before killing himself, authorities said.

University President John G. Peters said six students — four women, the shooter and another man — were killed in what he described as a “very brief, rapid-fire assault.” Sixteen other students were injured by gunfire or flying glass, authorities said.
