There was a shooting on the Northern Illinois University campus yesterday at about 3 p.m., according to the school's DeKalb campus Web site.
"It has been confirmed that there has been a shooting on campus and several people have been taken away by ambulance," according to a post on the Web site.
A white male in a black hat and black hoodie opened the side door on the stage in the lecture hall, pulled a shotgun, pumped it and started firing at people, according to the DeKalb Daily Chronicle.
Thirteen patients had arrived at the Kishwaukee Community Hospital by about 4:30, according to the hospital's Web site.
The school reported at 4:15 that the immediate danger passed and urged students to return to their residence halls and stay there, according to the Web site. The campus will be closed today, according to the Web site.
The suspect is reportedly dead, according to Dekalb County police. It is possible the gunman committed suicide, said DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
