A Northern Illinois University student was shot Friday morning in an apparent "isolated incident" on the DeKalb campus. The shooting comes one week after the two-year anniversary of a shooting rampage at NIU that left five students dead.
An alert about the incident was posted on the NIU website about 4:30 a.m., and the campus was briefly locked down.
The wounded student was taken to Kiswaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb in an unidentified condition, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The campus was reopened shortly after an alert of the incident was posted and students were told to attend classes as usual.
"NIU Public Safety officials are stating that the event appears to be an isolated incident between two individuals, and that the alleged assailant is in police custody," the university said in a campus alert posted on its website, according to AFP.
