[Editor’s Note, 1 p.m.: This posting was based on an incorrect report early this morning that an additional student had died overnight. The report, based on an announcement by the coroner’s office in Dekalb County, Ill., was later withdrawn. University officials blamed the error on a miscommunication. See this article for a verified report on the shooting.]
A sixth student wounded by a gunman at Northern Illinois University on Thursday has died, the Chicago Tribune reported this morning, bringing the death toll in the latest campus shooting spree to seven, including the gunman, who killed himself.
