On the afternoon of Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008, a gunman opened fire at Cole Hall on the campus of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb – killing five people.

This Valentine's Day, flowers, wreathes, and plaques were set up on the campus as reminders of the horrors of 15 years ago.

Witnesses said Kazmierczak shot the teacher, a graduate student instructor, and several students before killing himself onstage in front of the class."He just walked out and just stood there on the stage and I guess he shot the teacher first, but I didn't see him shoot the teacher, I just saw him shooting at the crowd of students," Cosgrove told CBS 2 at the time."I just heard shots, boom, boom, boom, and then I just kept going, I kept going.

Mitchell was not yet chief at the time of the massacre, but he did respond as an officer. On Monday, he fielded calls about another tragedy - his cousin was locked down in her dormOn Tuesday evening, police at Michigan State were called for shots fired at Berkey Hall, an academic building on the MSU campus. Police said officers arrived at the scene within minutes, and"encountered several students who were injured" inside that building. Two of the victims who died were there.

"It hits differently, because it happened at another university. It happened the day before our 15-year anniversary," Mitchell said back at NIU."It's just another constant reminder that we must be vigilant."
