DEKALB, Ill. (AP) — A gunman who opened fire in a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University on Thursday, injuring several people and sending students screaming and fleeing, is dead, DeKalb Police Lt. Gary Spangler told the campus newspaper.
No further details were available about the gunman, although The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle, citing information heard over a police scanner, earlier said that officers had been alerted to a white, male shooter with a shotgun and pistol.
"The gunman is deceased," Spangler told the student newspaper, The Northern Star.
"It has been confirmed that there has been a shooting on campus and several people have been taken away by ambulance," officials said in a message posted on the school's website.
University Police posted a message on the site by 4:14 p.m. saying the gunman was "no longer a threat" and "the immediate danger has passed."
