Meds were not the best Quickfix for Steve Kaz. “He was taking medication but had recently stopped and he had become somewhat erratic in the last couple of weeks.”
Northern Illinois University (NIU) is a peaceful university located in Dekalb, Illinois, about 65 miles west of Chicago.
Stephen Phillip Kazmierczak, the gunman who killed five students and himself and injured 20 more at Northern Illinois University on Thursday still had guns and ammunition available when he turned the gun on himself. Campus police responded to the shooting within minutes, but could only call for ambulances; Kazmierczak was already dead upon their arrival.
He was the vice-president of the school’s Academic Criminal Justice Association.
On a few sites, anonymous commenters that reportedly knew Kazmierczak have stepped forward to tell their stories.
I knew this kid, friend of a friend type deal. He was odd, quiet always gave me a creepy vibe, but then a lot of people give me that so I didn’t think anything of it. Last I remember seeing him was in early jan. he showed me his tattoo’s. They were all graphic an gory, but thats what guys like as tattoos. One was the doll from the Saw movies. I found that a little weird, why would a guy this age have a tattoo of some terrifying doll that signified nothing but a crazy serial killer. It scared me. But whatever floats your boat I thought. Then they started talking about his guns, he didn’t bring it up, but just sat there and said a few things here and there jokingly, but quiet. I immediately thought why in the hell does this kid have a gun? He doesn’t look like a hunter and didn’t live anywhere I would consider dangerous enough for a gun, let alone two. The only thing I could think of is that he needed to prove something to himself or to someone else, since he was tall and gangly, and didn’t look like he was mr popular. It’s scary knowing that I hung out with that kid, that I sat there and discussed these things with him. He is one of those guys that you just know something is wrong with him the first time you meet him, but he’s nice so you figure he is just a little odd. As for a motive goes, I do know that he had some issues with his sexuality, maybe it has something to do with that.
a lot of research still needs to be done with respect to the prescription of psychoactive drugs. Even Heath Ledger died due to having normal doses of drugs in his body. NIH and the FDA needs to put a lot more money into the study of adverse side reactions of drugs. The public information about Kazmierczak’s psychological history remains incomplete, making it nearly impossible to guess what mental problems may have affected his behavior.
