Northern Illinois memorial to be made more visible

Sept. 29, 2008
University will move memorial to more accessible area of campus
Northern Illinois University in DeKalb has decided to move a temporary memorial to students killed in a campus shooting in February to make it more accessible. NIU faculty members say that by mid-October the memorial will be moved from Altgeld Hall to the Holmes Student Center. The memorial includes a video, a flag flown at the Pentagon in the school's honor, archived items and letters of support. A former student opened fire on Feb. 14 in NIU's Cole Hall, killing five students and injuring more than a dozen others before turning the gun on himself.
