At least 5 students are dead after a gunman dressed in all-black opened fire in a classroom Thursday at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, before turning the gun on himself.
Four women and one man were killed and 16 other students were injured in the attack. According to witnesses, the gunman burst into the class in Cole Hall, located near the center of the campus, and opened fire. According to administrators, around 160 students are registered for the class.
Last December, the Chicago Tribune reported that threats had been found at NIU “on a bathroom wall that included a racial slur and references to the Virginia Tech shootings.” The campus was placed on a high security alert following the threats and closed for one day as police investigated.
This is the fourth school shooting in the United States within one week. Two were killed in a shooting on the campus of Lousiana Technical College last week, two shootings occurred in Memphis, Tenn. this week, and a middle school student is now brain dead after a school shooting in Oxnard, Calif.

In case you missed it, Heidi Montag (of MTV’s The Hills fame) debuted the hot ass mess of a video for her new single “Higher” on the Internet last week. The first copy of the video to be uploaded on YouTube received upwards of around 600,000 views in one day, but after 20-something thousand ratings Montag’s home music video had only received one star.
It’s so terrible, that after only a week, parodies have already been made. Check out this one from comedian Kelly Anne Burns. Its absolutely hillarious, she has everything down packed… including the creepy giant hands. But you know, it’s actually better than the original. Check it out above.
After a few years of laying low, Trina is back and wants us all to know she’s “Single Again” on her hot new record. Check out the video for the new single above.
