NIU Shooting Response

Johnston City native Debra Pender helped plan the emergency response plan that was put into effect last February 14 when a graduate student at Northern Illinois University shot and killed five students at NIU's Cole Hall before turning the gun on himself. Pender earned her doctoral degree in counseling at SIUC and talked with WSIU's Jak Tichenor about how she is sharing her expertise in campus emergency response planning with other university professionals around the country.
