whole campus on lockdown. Suspect last seen near Waterson Towers a large high rise campus residence hall. This stuff is crazy!

1. That's awful!

Hoping everyone stays safe.

5. But increasingly Normal,

if obviously Ill.
On that point, this guy -whoever he is- picked a really bad day to go crazy. With the Dorner chase in its final firefight stage, no one who's not on the Illin' State campus is going to pay this gunman the slightest bit of attention.

2. I did my undergrad there, have friends there

very concerned....lovely small campus, around 20,000 students.

3. Just think how cool it will be if/when campus carry is allowed

Who will be the ones appointed to spot the crazies versus the students?

4. That terrifies me

my husband teaches chemistry to pre-med and engineering students. I have seen how angry they get when they think their "careers" have been ruined by a bad grade. I mean it when I say I will make him move if they allow them on campus here. If they allow it everywhere, he has to go to industry, I will not be fearful everyday he goes to work. He is a teacher, not a cop.

6. They have the gunman in custody...
