: Good idea for a site, thank you for making this. I guess I am more angry than sad. Thankfully no one I knew or know
was injured.
: I graduated from NIU 2 years ago and was floored when I heard of this. Why did I have to spend my entire yesterday
afternoon on the phone trying to reach out to friends and old classmates? Why was I glued to the TV this morning for
updates? Why didn't they take the bathroom threats more seriously?
They did take this more seriously. They shut down finals! Then they said the threat was not credible. This was NOT the same guy. The police were there less then 30 seconds after the 911 call and had this not started and stopped so sudden they would have been more than capable of stoping it. The police are all trained. EMTs which is more than most and helped take care of victims before more helped arrived. Im just as confused and scarred as everyone else being an niu student... But we should ne proud to have such talented and brave police team. This is a time to support and heal... Criticism isnt going to help.
: When will these rampages stop?
: I am just angry. And selfishly thankful that I decided to not return for my masters or I would have been on campus
during this.
