I can't believe what happened at NIU a few days ago. I feel like shootings just keep happening and nothing is stopping them. It's kinda scary because NIU is so close to us and probably some Fremd kids will be going there next year. It was one of my options to go there but I decided not to go there a few weeks ago. I know a few people that go to school there and all I wanted to know was if they were okay. Fortunally they were but unfortunatly the ones that were killed or hurt were not. I always feel bad for the families who lost someone in a situation like this because none of those people deserved to die. One of the girls I know that went there, was supposed to be where it happend but left five minutes earlier to go to work. I can't even imagine how she feels about this and she's lucky that she left. It's just scary because things like this can happen anywhere and we just have to be prepared.
