Have you ever been watching the news and all of a sudden the anchor pauses, looks off camera, and puts a finger up to their ear like they are getting a very important news story? I think I experienced that for the first time this afternoon while watching CNN's "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer. Initially, Wolf was rattling on about Obama v. Hillary (of course) and then all of a sudden there appeared a horrified look on his face. He then told the audience that he had just gotten a report of two people being shot on the campus of Nothern Illinois University. Obviously, us college students take notice to breaking news stories like this because it could potentially happen anywhere, including UWM. Anytime there is a school shooting at any level it is going to be big time news.
So i got up and went to make a sandwich and when I got back it says on the screen "18 shot, at least 3 dead on Northern Illinois Campus." WOAH. Talk about a drastic jump from 2 people to 18 in less than 15 minutes. Turn on the news if you are interested as I'm sure this story is covering most of the broadcast spectrum at the moment.
