As you all may have heard, a student at Wesleyan was shot and killed earlier today in the campus bookstore. I'm (relatively) fine as are all of my close friends, although the girl, Johanna Justin-Jinich, was really good friends with my friend Leah (who some of you met at the a cappella show at my house). Johanna was shot 6 times by a suspect who is still at large...some people say the shooter was her ex-boyfriend but that hasn't been confirmed. The administration has been sending us informational messages all day, the last of which said we should remain indoors and vigilant for the rest of the night because the suspect is at large and armed and dangerous. Pretty scary stuff.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know the deal and that I am okay and trying to help my friends who have been really affected by this to get through this difficult time. I may leave tonight and go home for a little while before finals, but I haven't decided yet. Be well, and be safe.
Peace,
J

ReplyDeleterough. it sounds like your doing ok... but if u wanna talk about it dont hesitate. sorry that happened...especially at this point if the year.
ReplyDeleteNow I get a fucking security message saying:
ReplyDelete"We have been informed by Middletown Police of new evidence about the suspect in yesterday’s shooting. Although he apparently had a direct link to the victim but no other connection to the Wesleyan community, we have now been made aware that he expressed threats in his personal journal toward Wesleyan and/or its Jewish students. All students are urged to remain vigilant and to stay indoors. Additional security has been deployed accordingly."
"And/or its Jewish students?" I might get the fuck out of here today. No point being in lockdown for another day with a murderer who hates Wesleyan Jews still at large.
