Last Friday, Binghamton was engulfed in perhaps the city's worst tragedy in recent memory, as a gunman burst into an immigrant center in Binghamton, NY, opening fire and killing 13 people, including himself. The shooting rampage, which involved a brief hostage takeover, made national news coverage in its tragedy.
The shooting occurred on a day when students were leaving the city to head for Spring Break. The shooting occurred in an area of Binghamton populated with student housing, not to mention happening across the street from the local Binghamton high school. Students return to Binghamton on Monday April 13, with classes resuming on Tuesday. A massive campus-wide vigil is already scheduled, with more than 500 students already RSVPing on facebook their attendance at the vigil. Several facebook events have been set up for the vigil online, along with multiple email alerts being sent to students to rally with the community in support of the victims.
The vigil will take place at 7pm on Tuesday, April 14th, in front of the Fountain, near the lecture hall building. Information about the vigils can be viewed with the links below:
