NIU Shooting....

So Last Thursday (Valentines Day) There was a Shooting at NIU. Six People died (including the shooter) and I think at least 20 other people were shot (my brother wants me to tell you they were shot but didn't die) (ya he reading over my shoulder asking me to take him to the candy store (just what he needs right) anyways). At first it didn't really hit me has bad but these past couple days I've been really thinking about it and how it happened all so fast. We weren't even in Dekalb when it happened. We went to the new indoor water park in Rockford, and then we went to the Guitar Center (I needed a case for my guitar and some pic's) after that. And the clerk behind the desk was on the phone talking to somebody saying is everybody in Dekalb ok? And my parents started freaking out saying wait what happened in Dekalb?? And all that fun stuff. And it was supposed to be Valentines day and my parents were supposed to go out and see a movie or whatever they were gonna do. But guess what.....that didn't happen. They were at church most of the night, and then they went out to eat, but it was like it wasn't even Valentines Day. Apparently they talked about whats gonna happen this week and the weeks to come. So its been stressful. And every Night my parents are either at church or at a meeting (which that means I'm babysitting my sibs every night) or with the Billy Graham Emergency Response Team. And that also means my parents are very stressed out, (so please pray for them and all the area churches) well I think most of Dekalb and NIU is stressed. please pray.....
