Default Il School Shootings~
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...........

She's OK... They heard from her about 15 minutes ago. She's been at the hosp waiting w/some friends. She wasn't on campus when it happened.

Oh, dear. I am glad that Chris and Nik are OK . Well, scared but ok. I would have been very scared too. It is good for them to be with family. That is important. They may need to talk to someone. I got frightened just watching the news on TV. . Take care. God bless.

Prayers for all.

Unhappy
Sandy I am so relieved that your children are ok and just heartbroken that there are more lives lost so senselessly to this kind of horrific tragedy

the news has just said a total of 6 dead including the gunman

my prayers are lifted for everyone being impacted by this and especially for the family and friends of those killed and injured
