Discussion: Northwestern University Reports Person With Gun On Suburban Chicago Campus

Two blocks away from my son’s off campus house last year @ Northwestern. Apparently one of his old roommates has a cell phone picture of the gunman…he is now back in California thankfully. Shut down the NRA and destroy the guns!

Toss-up whether its Brucey Rauner or Jeanne Ives…

It IS graduate housing; it is not “on campus”, but a couple of blocks beyond campus. I once lived at that address.

Is there really nothing in the Constitution to protect the rights of the vast majority who don’t want to live (or die) like this? It’s time for some sanity in politics.

Well there’s Article V, but that’s a very tough row to hoe.

Looks like it might have been a false alarm.

Police descended on a graduate dorm west of Northwestern University’s main campus in Evanston Wednesday for reports of shots fired, but authorities said they found “no evidence of a victim, scene or gunman.”

However, Evanston police said they continued to “search and secure the area” around Engelhart Hall, and couldn’t say yet whether the initial call of shots fired was a hoax.

“That could be a possibility that we are also investigating,” Evanston Police Cmdr. Ryan Glew, a spokesman for the department, told reporters in a parking lot at Emerson Street and Maple Avenue near the dorm around 3:45 p.m. “We’re still treating this as an active investigation.”
