After Northern Illinois University student Harold Ng was wounded by a shooter on campus this week, fellow student Jeff Merkel came to his aid. These are their stories.
Comment: American heroes seem to show up when you need them. We should all be proud of Jeff, as he represents thousands of former servicement around us who help when needed. I'm personally proud of you Jeff and hope you recover well from this horrific event.
Comment: Jeff,

Comment: Jeff!
Good Job Man. I haven't seen you since we got back from Afghanistan. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw your picture online. Drop me a line if you read this. fmfdoc30@yahoo.com
Comment: REJOICE IN THE LORD HE IS OUR KEEPER. THE DEVILS ALWAYS TRYING TO BEAT HIM BUT HE NEVER WILL OUR LOVED ONES WAS CALLED TO HEAVEN THAT DAY THEY GLORY IN GODS KINGDOM. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU THAT MADE IT
Comment: We share one universal mind, one humanity and one planet. Therefore, what we do to another we in turn do to ourselves. And what we do to ourselves we in turn do to others (this also aids in preventing suicide).

Comment: WE SHOULD MANDATE THAT PHOTOS OF THOSE WHOE MASACRE INNOCENT AMERICANS SHOULD NEVER BE PUBLISH. MOREOVER THOSE WHO PUBLISH THE PHOTOS SHOULD BE FINED.
TO PACIFY THOSE WHO WILL SCREAM FOR FIRST ADDEMENDMENT RIGHTSTO VIEW THE PHOTOS OF THOSE WHO MASSACRE PEOPLE...A SIZABLE FEE SHOULD BE CHARGED TO ACCESS THE KILLERS PHOTO AND THE PROCEEDS SENT TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS
Comment: LET'S MAKE IT A MANDATE THAT THE PHOTOS OF THOSE WHO MASSACRE FELLOW AMERICANS ARE NEVER PUBLISHED. MOREOVER, THOSE WHO PUBLISH THE PHOTO'S OF HEINOUS KILLERS SHOULD BE SEVERELY FINED.
SINCE POSTING THE PICTURES OF THESE KILLERS DOES LITTLE FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND EVERYTHING TO PROMOTE THE KILLERS UNBRIDLED EFFORTS FOR NOTORIETY.
LET
SINCE
Comment: The government needs to get everyone on zoloft so that they will be in such a stupor they don't know when they have been victimized and then the world will be a safer and better place.
Zoloft is a SSRI that really doesn't put anyone in a stupor. Get real.
Comment: Keep pushing the pills. Columbine should have been enough of a wake up call that "drug washing" kids minds is not the answer.
Comment: if it is against the law to shoot people then why do they sell them to people. dont give me this hunting stuff either. you should be studied for years before you are able to purchase such a weapon anyway. i mean truly studied and YET, all it takes is one spark to set someone off/ you can be the nicest person and then BAM! one minute the enemy(satan) puts that in your brain and look out. It all depends on ig you belong to the LORD or not..
i am well pleased to hear the he thanks the Lord God Almighty for his life. It is because he knows God , is why he is still hear. god has plans for him.
Comment: The lord alrighty has deemed me financially, mentally and physically capable of controlling my own darned machine guns, but thanks for the offer of government assistance anyway.
Comment: YESHUAZ GIRL THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR GUN OWNERSHIP REGULATION IS IT ONLY APPLIES TO LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR REGULATING GUN OWNERSHIP FOR CRIMINALS, MENTALLY INSANE AND THOSE WHO BUY GUNS ON THE BLACK-MARKET?
Comment: I am effectively bugged by reading more than one article regarding the NIU shooting suggesting that more could be done to prevent such events on a college campus. Does no one else see the more obvious problem here? This university shooting, and the last, which happened at Virginia Tech in April of 2007, both involved the legal sale of arms to individuals with diagnosed mental/emotional issues. Jan. 5, 2008, saw the passing of a marginally stronger measure regarding this issue in gun control, but obviously this measure doesn't go far enough. Perhaps its time to stop selling handguns to the mentally unstable? Duh?
Comment: TOOTIEFLOOTIE: YOUR SUGGESTION WOULD WORK WELL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND HAVE BEEN ACCURATELY DIAGNOSED
WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS WHO AVOID HEALTH CARE (MENTAL OR PHYSICAL) ARE UNDOCUMENTED AND HERE IN THE US, THOSE WHO KNOW THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL AND MANIPULATE THE MENTAL ACCESSMENT...YES IT IS NOT SO CUT AN DRYTHER ARE SOME COUNTRIIES TAHT HAVE MADE IT MANDATORY TO BE ARMEDAND THESE COUNTIES DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE ..SOMETIMES I BELIVE OUR FREEDOMS HAVE CAUSED US TO NOT BE UNITED FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL

Comment: when do we start holding the media responsible if they wouldnt mention these killers names or show their faces would this keep happening i couldnt tell u 1 persons name who was killed nor what they look like but i sure could tell u the killers name and what he looks like i dont want to know his name or what he looks like the only people i care about is who he did this to
Comment: I agree 100%. It seems that most of these people want their 15 minutes. What happens if we deny them that?
Comment: I TOO AGREE 100% WELL PUT KOTA
Comment: my prayers go out to all niu students, employees, responders, and their families that are suffering today. their spirits will heal in time but there will be scars. i do not have any answers as to who was responsible for the shooter's condition, why he chose this venue, or what we as a society can do to end the senseless violence we encounter each day. now is not the time to point fingers and attack each other but come together and try to extract sense from the nonsense.
Comment: Sorry, but it is astounding, to me, that this kind of journalism is presented in Newsweek. And it is obvious that there is a huge depreciation in humanity these days. I don't intend to downsize the story or situation the world is in, but I expect a little more from this publication. And Mehan(blue), put down the bong ,but be careful, you may get blindsided by reality.
Comment: Bubbawheat: Are you for real? You read this story about a kid killing kids on a college campus and your attention was on grammar and word choice? Perhaps you should step away from your keyboard and condescending BS perspective and go in search of some humanity

Comment: I would like to know what is happening to this world!?!? Kids are killing kids!!! Wars are going on everywhere. I have a chlid that is 16 yrs old. It is a terrifing notion knowing that this can happen where you live also. You send your chlid to school one day and a classmate that is either upset or had their feeling hurt goes into the school and starts shooting radomly at everyone, and then kills themself. Why not just kill themself, why do they have to kill someone else?
For all the parents, and relatives and friends that lost a child my heart goes out to them. Their pain is great. Losing a child is one of the greatest pains that you should not have to endure. I don't know what I would do if I lost my child. They are your life, and you want them happy, to achive, and make this world a better place.
Comment: "I would like to know what is happening to this world!?!? Kids are killing kids!!! Wars are going on everywhere. I have a chlid that is 16 yrs old."
Ha, in two years, your child will be old enough to fight to keep our home heating oil costs down and the gas prices economical. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with "this world". Violent crime rates have decreased since the mid 1990's, that goes for juvinile and minority juvinile crime rates as well.
Keep putting kids on Prozac and Zoloft, that will make it all better...
Comment: The complete lack of writing skills by these college students, absolutely, amazes me! Maybe they should put the ipods down and focus on their education a little more.
Comment: As for your comment, that so called student, was also saving your ass in Iraq. And I am sure that with all the help he gave that day there are many of those students who are deeply grateful. As for what he has to deal with physiologically from being in Iraq and now this, know what he is going thru first!!!!! I see it every day.. Kids coming back from Iraq that need all the support we can give them. So before you make a statement like that, know what your talking about first.!!!!!
Comment: I am sorry that these young men and women were FORCED to go fight a war that shouldn't be, but last time I checked, my ass didn't need saving in Iraq. It's way past time to bring them home! It's the conservatives, like you, that have this country in the complete disarray that it's in now.
Comment: The "conservatives" do not have this country in "disarray". However, Southern Baptist Christians that have invaded the Republican party, like President Bush, have placed our country in jeopardy through negligence and bad execution of government and national treasure.
When you're thinking of 9/11, pause for a moment and think about why it was that EL-AL had secure cockpit doors and armed marshals on every flight since the 1960's and we were to late to discover how our lame cockpit security on airliners was to blame for enabling terrorists to use Stanley knives to kill thousands of Americans.
Comment: Everytime you hear of a student or previous student going into a school and shooting classmates it makes you deeply terrified to send your chlid to school. You have no idea is someone is going to go into the school that day and start shooting because he is upset or his feelings were hurt. I don't know what this world is coming too with all the killings and wars but I do have to say this is a very scary time. I have a 16 yr old and I worry all the time. It it happens in other places, it can happen where you live too.
Comment: And people wonder why I carry a concealede and licensed .45!
Comment: What in the world is wrong with everyone? What is the point of flaming a student who survived a senseless, vicious attack. This site should screen comments and not allow any two-watt with a keyboard and an internet connection to spew random hatred.
Comment: You're a Dr.? A medical Dr.? Why don't you enlighten us on why doctors and hospitals kill 300,000 American's a year? For anybody reading this, you can research that subject on Dr. Joseph Mercola's website, found by doing a simple google search.
Comment: god just because he didnt take his pills we need tto deal with the mental health ........... u dont shoot people for nothing we need to stop this and listen to our childern and dont be so hard on them that they need to sceed just need to be happy whatever they are doing my heart goes out good bless the heros who help those 7 people ................... may good bless u your family my prayers are with u
Comment: "MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE STUDENTS THAT ARE THE OTHERSIDE OF THE CURTAIN THE ONES THAT ARE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES NOW AND FOREVER AS I AM SURE HE WILL NOW AND FOREVER!!!"
If god wanted to bless anybody, he would have directed the killer to shoot up a crack house, or a prostitution house or childmolesters from the Sexual Offender Registry. But god didn't bless us with this killing because according to the bible, god does not interfere with free will...so if you're going to use mythology to explain the game, at least read the rules before playing.
Comment: Richard Smokes,
Blessings do not necessarily mean good things happen to everyone. A blessing may be having something bad happen to people to help others. A blessing may be having a hard life so you learn lesson that will help you.
God may not interfere with free will, but He knows what's going to happen. He can stack the cards right to make people be in a certain place at a certain time for things to happen.
Anyways, I really couldn't care less if you believe in God or not. You've been given the opportunity to believe, but choose to remain ignorant.
If you are going to harp on free will versus blessings and predestination, at least open your mind up a bit and think about the whole picture. Your cut and dry thoughts about how God works are not accurate.
Comment: Ng says;
"I kept thinking, 'This can't be real.'"
"I give thanks to God that I survived. I feel lucky, blessed."
Ok, so the Ng victim is unable to believe in reality, real life as it happens right in front of his very own eyes. Then the Ng victim says that some mythological metaphysical being guided the shooter in killing Ng's classmates instead of him for some sort of blessing? In otherwords, Ng was spared by a god that sent a killer to kill his classmates? I don't get it.
Even a christian knows that the bible says that god doesn't interfere with free will, otherwise he'd make all us go to church and there wouldn't be a bank robbers or child molesters.
Comment: Christians DO know that God interferes with free will. At least those Christians who understand the sovereignty of God. You obviously have not read the Bible with that question in mind.
Comment: Based on your statement and respecting her infinite wisdom, god could have had good cause for directing a killer to shoot up that classroom. I'll buy that.
Comment: who the hell are you to criticize someone's reaction to an obviously terrible and I'm sure terrifying experience. You have a lot of nerve.
Comment: Ng says;

"I give thanks to God that I survived. I feel lucky, blessed."

Comment: You can bet this guy had some kind of history of mental illness.
The fact he was on meds should prevent him or anyone else from purchasing a gun.
That is where the law for purchasing guns has to be look at if anything is going to change.
Comment: This is so terrible there are not words to say. So many people knew that this child was out of balance they knew and did nothing. He will never show to friends that there is a problem NEVER. Children for the most part are so trusting. When he went into the service they rejected him for reasons that were not good but they never said a thing. Then again his girl friend broke off from him for reasons that were not good and again she never said a thing. There were so many people that knew there was something wrong with this child and no one stepped to the plate. How many more innocent children have to die before something is done. Again he stopped taking his medicine. Didn't anybody know that this was happening or did they keep a secret. I so sick and tired of hearing what is going on to our innocent children in colleges someone has to step up to the plate.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE STUDENTS THAT ARE THE OTHERSIDE OF THE CURTAIN THE ONES THAT ARE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES NOW AND FOREVER AS I AM SURE HE WILL NOW AND FOREVER!!!
Comment: Now a days children are not safe anywhere and that is so sad to say. I thank God do have children in school but I have freinds that do and this is so very scarey. The service knew and many other people knew there was something wrong with this child and nobody came forward. He was not taking his medicine as he should have been and nobody stepped forward NOBODY. That is exactly what happened before. How many more chldren have to die before someone steps up to the plate and stops this nonsence. Everyone knew that this child had a problem and everyone shut their mouths. This is really really stupid and so very horrible there are no words to say about this no words. The cream of the crop are being killed off and nobody is doing anything about it NOBODY.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE INNOCENT CHILDREN THAT WERE KILLED AND ALL THE INJURED AND THEIR FAMILIES NOW AND FOREVER AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!
Comment: BECAUSE PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE THE BIGGEST BLUNDER OF OUR SOCIETY, SOME KIND OF NEWER SHAMAN ALONG WITH BIG PHARMA SELLING THEIR MAGIC TALISMANS. BY PUTTING A NAME ON A KID???S PERSONALITY THEY SELL YOU THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL ON THE FICTITIOUS DISEASE. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DON???T HAVE A CURE JUST AN ILLUSORY TREATMENT FOR THE SYMPTOM, A LEGAL DRUG. SINCE WHAT IS SICK IS THE MIND AND THEY DON???T KNOW HOW IT WORKS, THE ILLNESS JUST KEEPS GROWING. IF THEY KNEW THE MIND IT WOULDN???T TAKE TO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND MAKE YOU A SLAVE, TO MAKE HUMANS SLAVES IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE MIND ONLY CAN BE ACCESSED VOLUNTARILY AND THAT DOESN???T COST MUCH, ONLY FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE (MOM, DAD, TRUE FRIENDS) CAN APPROACH THE MIND AND DICIPLINE IS ONE OF THE MAIN FACTORS TO HAVE A FUTURE HEALTY MIND. THE MATERIAL WORLD IS NOT FOR FREE, (CAUSALITY), NOW YOU CAN SEE THE CONSEQUENCES.
Comment: Yes, pharmaceutical companies probably "drug washed" this guy just like they did the Columbine shooters and others. You hit the nail right on the head.
Did you see the lady in the post above you talkin bout, "he didn't take his 'medicine'" hahahaha, I just about threw up when I read that crap.
How is it that natural humans are so mentally screwed up in the head that they would need drugs to make them more "natural" again to the point where the so called problem is large enough for pharmaceutical compaines to make money off it.
Think about what I am saying...I'm not knocking the pharmaceutical companies directly, what I am asking is how is it that so many natural humans are so defective? How does that number of defective people occur? Additionaly, as person who receives acupuncture for diverticulitis, why the hell is drug treatment being pursued, when there are so many other alternative avenues that are healthier?
"he wasn't taking his 'medicine'" hahahahaha.
Comment: Would you knock a diabetic for not taking their medicine? Like you said, "How is it that natural humans are so totally screwed up in the pancreas that they would need drugs to make them more "natural" again...what I am asking is how is it that so many natural human beings are so defective? How does that number of defective people occur?" You have diverticulitis; are you defective? Or unnatural? What the gunman did is absolutely unacceptable, and there is no excuse. He was doing very well until he stopped his medications. One of the very serious instructions given on psychotropic drugs is to NEVER abruptly discontinue use, and do not discontinue without being monitored by a doctor. The shooter knew that, it was his poor decision to do so, and there is no one to blame but him. Back to defective persons, substitute insulin for serotonin and you have unipolar depression. The only difference is that these two chemicals are produced in different organs of the body. I am a straight A college student who takes medication for bipolar disorder, I have no criminal record and I hate guns. I would be dead if not for my medication, thanks to rhetoric like yours I was so scared to see a doctor I got to the point of being catatonic before I had to concede to treatment or die. Let me ask you this; what is crazy: knowing you are sick and not seeking treatment or seeking treatment for your illness?
Comment: Its kind of ironic that before these drugs were ever designed, the kind that supposedly "keep people from doing such things," that this kind of event was not commonplace at all. Think back fifty, a hundred years, and how many historical examples of a kid walking into school and killing as many people as they could really happened? Nowadays,the ink's not even dry on the newspaper before the next massacre occurs. How sad.

Comment: gggg
Comment: Govenor Rod Blagojevich stated that if there was a way to prevent such events we will find the solution. Similar shootings taking place all over our world at this very moment, as well as what took place at Virginia Tech prove that things haven't really changed that much.
There is a solution but it takes dismantling the most Sadred of Taboos - Of looking at the part victims play in their victimization. This blind spot in our mental processes compels us to keep the focus on criminality and not victimality,even at the cost of all the lives it takes.
Instead of focusing on the potential problem mental patients, we can prepare to abort any and all crime encounters that come our way.
Thus we as individuals become potential survivors and healers instead of potential victims. When we have our finger pointing at "the other" we must beccome aware of the three fingers pointing back at ourselves.
We are the ones who need to be prepared to reflect a positive self-image to these crazy people when their actions threaten, bruise and or puncture our conscious egos due to fear and danger.
One can make a conscious choice to adopt a (blue) survivor/healer mentality to replace our (yellow) victim mentality in responding to any (red) criminality that comes our way. In this way, we not only survive the evil, we can help heal to a degree the evil doer. Once again, it takes two to tango.
Motivation, meditation and mediation are the three requirements to achieve this solution.
Motivation, would be a desire to be safe and secure under any and all conditions.
Meditation, would be any of the mind sciences that enable us to positively (blue) alter consciousness (one could even use the process of devout prayer.)
Mediation, (blue) alpha-wave producing thought processes such as the following:
We share one universal mind, one humanity and one planet. Therefore, what we do to another we in turn do to ourselves. And what we do to ourselves we in turn do to others (this also aids in preventing suicide).
Had our circumstances in life been reversed, then our positions now too, would be reversed.
Let us have only love, understanding and compassion for one another, for we are all a part of each other.
Couple these (blue) alpha-wave thought processes with the triggering mechanism of our (yellow) conscious ego being threatened, bruised and/or punctured due to (yellow) fear and/or impending (red) danger. This coupling is to be done during a (blue) positively altered state of consciousness.
You now have the three requirements to change the world starting with yourself.
I've just presented you with the blueprint on how to create this (blue) survivor/healer mentality and save one life - your own.
"When you save one life, you save the world" comes from an ancient Jewish writing.
Comment: Save the color code bull crap, most people today are barely capable of possessing the ability to feed or clothe themselves without seeking help from a therapist, much less using cunning defenses in defeating a criminal attack.
The government needs to get everyone on zoloft so that they will be in such a stupor they don't know when they have been victimized and then the world will be a safer and better place.
Comment: Instead of basking in your own "infinite wisdom," Richard Smokes, why don't you do something constructive in the physical realm and get involved in helping your community rather than sit on your rear end flaming people online. That little bit of exercise and endorphin rush could do wonders for your diverticulitis. Just a suggestion - because I care.
Comment: you are a freak.
