Pray For NIU
Thursday, February 14th, 2008
Another large, horrific campus shooting spree occured earlier today, less than a year after the horrific day at Virginia Tech. This one was closer to home at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois. It’s about 60 miles West of Chicago.
My prayers go out to the victims, families and students of NIU. I think my post back on the day of the Virginia Tech tragedy sums up my thoughts on the news today. Rather than repeating the post, just check it out here in my archives.
A local man who was a victim of the Virginia Tech spree had some wise words for the students of NIU. Garrett Evans said:
“The challenge is to forgive the gunman. It seems hard to do that, but you have to forgive so that you can heal.”
Well said Garrett.
