    Six students dead, seven if you count the shooter. He had been a graduate student at NIU until last spring and transferred down to the University of Illinois. 18 wounded. Sad, sad.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Correction. Five students dead, six if you count the shooter. One is from my church. Funeral service this Tuesday.

    This is so sad. The newspapers here have been filled with the details of who these young people were and their dreams and aspirations, their lives and the people who loved them. Even the shooter has been shown to have more than one dimension. He obviously was a troubled soul, yet no one would ever have predicted this would have been something he was capable of. From what has been reported so far, it doesn't appear that there were red flags all over the place as sometimes is the case in this type of situation.

    Today is the one-year anniversary of the shootings at NIU. There was a memorial.
