Just saw this now at about 9 pm. Don't really know what to say except for RIP for the victims. It's sad that shit like this seems to be becoming more of a trend

I will say that I might take this a little more close to home than some since all of my family is in Illinois, but it is incredibly depressing to see this and/or go through the memory of this kind of thing happening, especially once again asking my family to confirm that nobody we knew was harmed in the shooting.

this shit always pisses me off. it always happens in groups. i mean it's only been a week since Louisiana tech....why do people feel the need to do this shit?

It doesn't seem like this is getting as much coverage as the Virginia Tech massacre. Hopefully the American society as a whole is not getting numb to it. That would be very sad indeed.
