Five students at Northern Illinois University (my alma mater) were shot to death on February 14, 2008, in shootings that began at 3:05 p.m.. Liz and I first learned of it while at K.C.'s Cabin in Spring Grove when we saw film from DeKalb and thought it was neat to get some publicity for a change until we found out what had happened. (The sound was off at K.C.'s.)
Killed that day:
Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero
Juliana Gehant, 32, of Mendota
Ryanne Mace, 19, of Carpentersville
Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Elmhurst
Gayle Dubowski, 20, of Carol Stream
Twenty others were wounded.
The murderer was decent enough to kill himself. Law enforcement officials collected 48 shell casings and 6 shotgun shells.
I do not know why media continues to identify the murderer. As far as I am concerned, he had no name or family.
Should Remain Nameless.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
