[Editor’s Note, 1 p.m.: This posting was based on an incorrect report early this morning that an additional student had died overnight. The report, based on an announcement by the coroner’s office in Dekalb County, Ill., was later withdrawn. University officials blamed the error on a miscommunication. See this article for a verified report on the shooting.]

A sixth student wounded by a gunman at Northern Illinois University on Thursday has died, the Chicago Tribune reported this morning, bringing the death toll in the latest campus shooting spree to seven, including the gunman, who killed himself.

As the names of the victims were slowly released by the coroner’s office in Dekalb County, Ill., the Tribune also reported that the shooter had won a dean’s award at Northern Illinois two years ago for his graduate work in sociology on prison systems. The newspaper said it was not naming the gunman because the police have not completed their identification of his body.

The Tribune said that, at the time of the shooting, the gunman was a 27-year-old graduate student in social work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He had no police record. —Andrew Mytelka
