Another student shot at a Northern Illinois University lecture hall has died, raising the toll to seven, including the gunman, who had graduated from the school and had been considered a good student, officials said Friday. The shooting was the latest in a spate of attacks in U.S. schools and universities, including the shooting of a gender-nonconforming student at an Oxnard, Calif., junior high school who has since been declared brain-dead; a 17-year-old accused of shooting and critically wounding a fellow student Monday during a high school gym class in Memphis, Tenn.; and a woman who shot two fellow students to death before committing suicide at Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge late last week.
