This is short, but doesn't Ilona go to NIU? It happened a few hours ago and has been breaking since, some 18 have been injured, not sure about any deaths! 18 reported shot after gunman opens fire at Chicago university
"It has been confirmed that there has been a shooting on campus and several people have been taken away by ambulance," Northern Illinois University said on its website.

I was out for the evening, came home and hadn't checked her or dkos immediately. So sorry to hear of another troubled person who couldn't leave this world without destroying the lives of others first. Good to know Ilona is safe and hope that all of the survivors will find a way to heal after experiencing such a terrible tragedy.
