| Death on Campus Today! Very Scary http://www.fox23news.com/news/local/...4-2095e5925504 We had quite a scare today at work, campus shut down around 1pm b/c of a body found in the building I teach in. It wasn't clear what happened and as it turns out it was a suicide of a former student. It was chaos for awhile with rumors of gun shots heard and murder and then with everyone being told to get off campus asap. It was quite a day~ |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | That is very scary, Kim! I'm glad that no one else was harmed. I feel so sadly for that student, though. Their life must've been pretty awful for them to kill themself.

| That is so sad. The university seems to have responded quite efficiently though. There was a suicide on our campus a while back, and the first person to find the body did not return the next semester. It can be a very traumatic experience for all involved. I cannot imagine the state of her family and friends.

| How sad that the former student was so "lost". I'll be adding his family and YOU-Kimberly, and everyone who works in the building on my prayer list. I know this has impacted a lot of people. Hugs to you, . |

| No, I didn't know him. He graduated in 2000. It's so very tragic and I'm sure I will know more tomorrow I had a student a few semesters ago that committed suicide and that was really hard, I don't ever want to experience that again. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How tragic and scary. It is so sad to know someone is so desperate and alone feeling that they take their life.
