By now I'm sure most of you heard of the tragic event that happened on friday the 10th(my bday) at my school. For those of you who havent...here you go....


"DEARBORN (AP) — A man and a woman were killed Friday in an apparent murder-suicide on a community college campus that was locked down as police rushed to the scene of the violence.

They discovered the bodies of the students in an unused room at a Henry Ford Community College building after responding to an emergency call of a shot being fired on campus, said Dearborn Deputy Police Chief Gregg Brighton.

Officers responded after 12:30 p.m., set up a perimeter around the MacKenzie Fine Arts Center and as officers entered they heard another gunshot.

Police then discovered the bodies of the 20-year-old woman and 28-year-old man, Brighton said. The man used a shotgun to kill the woman and then turned the gun on himself, he said.

Brighton declined to release their names but said they took at least one class together, which had met earlier in the day Friday.

“Nothing like this has ever occurred on campus,” said Marjorie Swan, vice president/controller at the school.

She said the school successfully used its campus-wide e-mail and cell phone alert system for the first time. The lockdown later was lifted.

The shooting happened on Good Friday, and the 17,000-student commuter school west of Detroit wasn’t as busy as usual, based on how full the parking lots were, Swan said.

Swan said officials would decide later Friday if classes would be held Saturday morning.

“Our hearts go out to the family and the friends of the young woman who lost her life today,” Swan said.

Christian Plonka, 12, was in an auditorium at the MacKenzie building, which is used for theater, music and arts classes. The middle schooler from Dearborn goes to the campus several times a week for a theater program.

He said he heard a banging sound and went to explore.

“I heard one gunshot, and I saw someone getting pulled back into the room they were in,” he said.

Plonka and other students in the program ran into a parking lot at the adjacent University of Michigan-Dearborn campus, where they waited until police gave the all-clear to leave.

“I was rattled,” Plonka said.

Carolyn Cajas, 39, an arts student at the college, was at home when she learned about the shooting from TV news and rushed to campus to see what was going on. She said she believes she knows the woman who was killed but declined to describe her in detail because it wasn’t clear whether family members had been notified.

“It’s a good school. It’s like anything that happens tragically in life ... you’ve got to mourn and help each other get through it,” she said.

Cajas said it will be difficult, but she plans to return to class"
