It is very unfortunate for something like that to happen, and especially near a college campus. It is difficult enough for family and friends to worry about their loved ones when they are away at school, and a situation like this is their worst nightmare. Things like this happen often around campuses all over the country, and no matter how much security there is, there’s really no way to prevent this from happening. A stabbing happens in a matter of seconds, and even if there is security right outside the house, it can be too late.
You are pretty good at this blogging stuff. Good layout with photo, pull quote, link to CNN.
Would have liked to read more with your perspective as a college student or maybe comments from friends. You have a summary and a quick opinion, but you could have added more.
