Threat prompts NIU to tighten security
Northern Illinois University is boosting security this week after threatening graffiti was found.School officials said the graffiti was found Monday, but university police concluded the threats don't warrant suspending classes. In an e-mail to students, the school urged students and faculty to "remain calm but vigilant and to report any information they might have about this threat to the campus police."In a statement, the school said it would not release details because "excessive media coverage of campus threats clearly contributes to their proliferation."The school evacuated its Health Services Building last week after a bomb threat was found on a handwritten note in a well-traveled stairwell. Campus police are investigating.
A former student killed five students in a lecture hall Feb. 14 before killing himself.

In the past week, there has been so many threats at colleges and even middle schools. Every school has to take these threats seriously. It is scary to think of anything bad ever happening at NIU again, or any school for that matter.
I'm not sure what's gone wrong with the world. It never used to be like this. A while back a man went into a store and shot a bunch of random people, and he did it just to be remembered. Why do people think that bc they are responsible for a mass killing that they will be remembered?

Maybe, but take a look at this one:
The Bath School disaster: . . . three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, USA, on May 18, 1927, which killed 45 people and injured 58. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7-12 years of age) attending . . . School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in U.S. history. The perpetrator was school board member Andrew Kehoe, who was upset by a property tax.
