Colleges kids (in US) are going crazy ...

New York, Feb 8 (IANS) Within 12 hours of a gunman, with a grudge, killing five before being killed by the police in Missouri, a female student Friday shot dead two fellow women students and then fatally shot herself inside a classroom in a Louisiana college.

The shootout was confined to a classroom of Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge, the CNN reported.

The motive of the shooter was not immediately known, nor her identity or those of her victims.

Earlier, a gunman - Charles Lee 'Cookie' Thornton - in Kirkwood suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, Thursday night stormed a City Hall council meeting and shot dead three city officials, two policemen and wounded two more, including mayor Mike Swoboda.

The gunman, who had a history of acrimony against the civic officials, was shot dead by the police.

New York, Feb 15 (IANS) Six students were killed and 16 injured when a gunman opened fire inside a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in suburban Chicago before shooting himself. There was no Indian casualty in the campus that has 862 international students, officials said.

Four women are among those who died in the Thursday afternoon shooting and the condition of two of the wounded was critical, NIU president John Peters said at a news conference Thursday evening. One of the critically injured has also died since.

He said a graduate student was teaching an introductory geology class at about 3 p.m. in a large auditorium inside Cole Hall, one of NIU's main classroom buildings, when the gunman burst onto the stage at the front of the room, armed with a shotgun and two handguns.

'The shooter just appeared from behind the screen in front of the classroom in an introductory geology class. According to eyewitnesses, it was a brief, rapid-fire assault,' Peters said.
