llsteve80 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I was on the phone with my brother around 3 and he got off the phone to go to class saying he was late already. At 3:20 he called me back a little freaked out and said there was a shooting on campus. On the news they said kishawaukee hospital is expecting about 15 victims. Lets all pray for those kids and hope for a swift justice to the perpetrator of this terrible act. He is in custody already.

KB Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I don't know what the answer is to these atrocities but government's worldwide need to search for answers as far too many fine young men and women lose their lives to these senseless acts. Prayers coming from Australia. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm not totally clear on the numbers, but there are 4 dead and either 17 total or 17 more shot. My brother was supposed to be in the room next door but he was late. He and gis girlfriend are now home and safe, but I can't stop thinking of all those kids and their parents. A terrible way to have to remember valentine's day. The shooter killed himself in a true cowardly fashion. Another thing I can't get out of my head is that I wish they would stop advertising this on the news to give the next wack job the idea to go shoot up a school.

Victoria Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was on the phone with my brother around 3 and he got off the phone to go to class saying he was late already.

Lets all pray for those kids and hope for a swift justice to the perpetrator of this terrible act. He is in custody already. Dear God! This is the first time I "knew" someone affected by these happenings. My prayers to your family, Llsteve. Thank God your brother is okay. I'm reminded of Dr. Liviu Librescu of Virginia Tech, who shielded his students with his own body to prevent further killings... BTW, I turned on CNN news at 7 PM. They were talking of the Democratic nominees. Ditto on MSNBC. Only Fox News were covering it at that time. Very odd. The V Tech tragedy had been plastered EVERYWHERE.

HauteHippie Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Tragic situation, and 3 mass murders in the past 2 weeks is very messed up. But while it has definitely gotten worse in the past 50 years, the rate doesn't seem to be growing much more quickly than the population thankfully. I'm far more concerned about the fact that overall, crime is about 2x-3x what it was 50 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
