What happened at the niu shooting 2010?”
Student wounded in NIU shooting; suspect in custody Reuters Friday, February 19, 2010; 8:28 AM CHICAGO (Reuters) – A student at Northern Illinois University was shot and wounded Friday, triggering a brief lockdown of the campus that was lifted after the suspected assailant was caught, school authorities said. The shooting outside a residence hall appeared to be “an isolated incident between two individuals,” the school said on its website. The victim was taken to a hospital. The school said classes were to be held as usual at the 24,000-student university, which is in DeKalb, 65 miles southwest of Chicago. On Feb. 14, 2008, a former graduate student at NIU opened fire in a lecture hall, killing five and wounding 19 before turning the gun on himself.
