NIU shooting
I think that the amount of shootings that have gone on lately is scary, but the way NIU handled it was very good and efficient. The students felt more secure because of how they did handle it. It's scary because I heard of someone I kind of knew that got shot. I hate knowing there are people out there that do this to other people and then kill themselves. If you're going to do something like that atleast stay alive to get punished for it. That's the easy way out and none of those kids deserved to die at such young ages. It kind of scares me because next year I will be off at college, and there is a chance that something like that could happen. I'm the type of person that gets scared and freaked out really easy, so this doesn't help when I think about going away next year. It is a very sad thing that happened, and it's sad that someone did this. NIU handled it really well, and it's nice to know that they could be so efficient and fast with how they did everything.
