OMG! Northern IL University in DeKalb, IL had school shootings today. Some friends of ours are still waiting to hear from their daughter.
This is close to where Sandy (our Sandy) lives. We are in shock as know many kids that go there. The gunman walked into a Geography class w/a shotgun. He killed himself and the news says 17 injured. Please pray for these kids and their families....

Chris and Nik are OK. Chris was in class when it happened and was on lockdown. He said they were scared the shooter may come into their classroom. Nik was in the dorms getting ready to go to class at the lecture hall. This is terrible and sick. I am sick to my stomach that I am not home. Nik is possible going home and Chris is going to his grandma's. I think Chris may need to talk to someone.

I thought of your boys' right away, Sandy. This is hitting too close for comfort. One of our close friends' still cannot get ahold of their DD and they've already lost one DD to murder.
We are sick over it too. These things should NOT be happening anywhere. Keep praying...........

Thank you Sandy and others, for keeping us all updated with this terrible news. You've no idea just how much the media in other parts of the world (like Oz) have over exaggerated this tragedy. Even it's true horror, the media have had me thinking so much worse. For every person who has a child, or knows someone who has a child at that uni, my thoughts are with you all.......

My oldest son was in class at the time on the other side of campus. They were in lock down. He got a text message from his friend that shots were being fired and that was all they knew. They were so scared because they had no idea where the shooter was. My youngest son was in his dorm. The lecture hall was where his church group used to meet up. His date tonight for v-day was in the lecture hall when it happened. He said v-day is canceled. :-(
