A young man shot a bunch of people at Northern Illinois University, and then shot himself. I've already found a story identifying his race. And why is the gunman's race mentioned? Because he's white.
The man, who shot up to 18 people, was armed with a shotgun and pistol. He was described as a young white male dressed all in black.Gunman goes berserk in classroom - World -Sydney Morning Herald February 15, 2008 - 10:18AM (Australian Time, this is about now our time)
