not much info out yet but they said the threat has been eliminated, whatever that means...just heard this on my local news. Channel 2 in Dayton.

News from the Chicago stations are that there are no fatalities except the shooter and some injuries. Classes at all campuses are canceled today and tomorrow. It's still unfolding so I would not put any stock in finite numbers just yet.

My condolences go out to all of the people at NIU . As a former employee that worked in the office of orientation only 2 years ago this tragedy really hits home for me. Especially because I stood in that exact lecture hall for an entire summer and welcomed new students to NIU. This is truly tradgey ..... Fight on HUSKIES Fight on.........
