These are a couple of photos I snapped while at the candlelight vigils on Friday night. I was amazed to see the number of people out despite the very cold weather. Several of the students were surprised and glad to hear that journalists from Iowa cared enough to travel as far as we did to cover the recovery process the student body at NIU is/will be going through.
I will be updating this blog with photos throughout Saturday and Sunday, so keep checking back.
