Apparently 14 people are injured, they dont know if anyone is dead.
The gunman killed himself and the police are currently moving in.
The parents are phoning their kids and one mom who was recently on the news cant get ahold of her daughter, she fears the worse though the news says she is okay

3 dead, gee whiz.


CNN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN) reports that at least two people were shot.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting#_note-CNN_0214) CBS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS) affiliate WFOR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFOR-TV) reports that at least 15 people have reportedly been shot.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting#_note-CBS_0214) Three are reported dead, including the gunman.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting#_note-1) BBC News (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_News) is reporting that a local TV station, CLTV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLTV), has said that 18 people have been shot. An update from the campus states that it is now secure, and that only essential personnel should remain on campus.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting#_note-2) According to the Kishwaukee Community Hospital (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kishwaukee_Community_Hospital&action=edit) website four victims are being treated for head wounds, and three of them have arrived at the hospital and are being attended to. Fifteen more expected in unknown condition.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting#_note-3)

Apparently 15 injured and are being treated, 3 with head wounds, the shooter himself is now presumed to be dead, It is not clear wethere he committed suicide or police killed him.

Because they dont have the equipment to treat the patient at that hospital, so they have to transfer them to the closest one which does.

people should really start learning to only say things like this when they actually have a clue what they're talking about. (hint: you dont). america isnt "turning into" anything. there have been a significant decrease in violent death in the past few decades, the only thing that has increased is the coverage.

Lastest info. 6 DEAD




Latest Information

8:55 p.m. CST, 2/14/08
NIU can confirm six fatalities, including the gunman. Four of the dead were female and two, including the gunman, were male. In total, there were 22 injured or killed.
NIU can confirm that the shooter was an NIU graduate student in sociology in the Spring of 2007 but was not currently enrolled.
At a press conference held on NIU's campus Thursday evening, NIU President John Peters said, "Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. We thank the community for the outpouring of sympathy during this terrible time of tragedy."
Peters urged students to remain calm and seek counseling. "We've asked them to reach out to each other during this difficult time, and they've done that, and I'm proud of them."
The NIU Department of Public Safety is asking that any individuals who witnessed the Feb. 14 shooting, or who believe they have any information related to the shooting, call the University Tip Line at (815) 753-TIPS. Police will return calls as soon as possible.
The FBI is processing the crime scene and the investigation is being aided by the Illinois State Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms, the State Crisis Management Team, the City of DeKalb Police, City of Sycamore Police, DeKalb County Sheriff's Department, the Ben Gordon Center and the DeKalb, Sycamore and Cortland Fire Departments, as well as FEMA.

Americans aren't screwed up. Although the News said something about the seventh guncrime in a school of america this week, if you compare that to the ammount of beatings and gun crime/stabbing in the UK then UK would seem screwed up too. At the end of the day it is only a percent or two of the population who are murders but I blame the fact that these crimes are committed purely on the fact that it is so easy to get a firearm in america and in england you get let off every crime, that being completely let off or a stupidely short sentence.

Completely different. These are mass shootings with no real target except to hurt society. We never really see this on our news, we are more likely to see people caught up in gang shootings rather than a school shooting.

Reports are saying the name of the gunman was Stephen Kazmierczak, and the reason he done this is because he didnt take his medication. His medical condition has not been revealed yet.

Gun laws seriously need to be restrained in the U.S. - they should of done something about this a LONG time ago, if I wanted, I could easily get my hands on a gun before Monday (of course I wouldn't want to though), it's not right.

lol@ the title saying "just this minute happened." ill assume that it takes more than a minute for the event to happen, the media to write something on it, them to post it online, and then for you to steal it from them.

anyway, banning guns wont work, because a large portion of gun violent crimes are committed with unmarked guns. there are way too many in circulation.

GoldenMerc
16-02-2008, 03:40 PM
Yes there is alot of unmarked guns and guns going around but if they stop people from buying them, Then oviously that will help, if they ban guns and arrest people who have guns or havent given them in that will also help, George bush is just a lazy moron, He needs to relise the real world if he didnt have his security im pretty darn sure he'd be dead!
Sorry if i offended anyone but America seriously has to look into this guns dont help anyone they just cause trouble, Think about if there were no guns in the world no wepons think about how nice this world would be...

Why
Hes president tho

the president doesnt have the power. that power lies in congress. the united states is separated into 3 separate branches, all of which have equal power. the president only has 1/3rd of the power in government (technically speaking less than.) the president gets lots of attention because it's only one person and he has a few distinct powers (ie military). not many people pay attention to the other two branches because there are so many people in them.

the president cannot make laws.
