A shotgun-wielding gunman who shot and injured at least five students in Cole Hall shortly after 3 p.m. has been killed, police say. "The gunman is deceased," said Lt. Gary Spangler of the DeKalb Police Department, adding that the "majority of the incident happened in Cole Hall." As of 3:30 p.m., at least three students were being tended to in vestibule of Neptune Central. Outside Cole Hall, on the sidewalk, two more students were covered in blankets and being tended to by police officers and fellow students. As this was happening, at least three students were wheeled on stretchers to ambulances parked in the DuSable Hall bus turnaround. George Gaynor, a senior geography student, who was in the class when the shooting happened, said the shooter was "a skinny white guy with a stocking cap on." He described the scene immediately following the incident as terrifying and chaotic. "Some girl got hit in the eye, a guy got hit in the leg," Gaynor said outside just minutes after the shooting occurred. "It was like five minutes before class ended too." University Police, DeKalb Police and other neighboring agencies are locking down campus, including a large portion of Lucinda Avenue completely closed down to traffic. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
