Since the 2008 shooting, FBI statistics show active shootings across the U.S. have increased sharply — especially in the last few years. “It will always be apart of me, and it’s always in my head,” Korellis recalled. “It does get easier as time goes on, but that scar is there forever.” On that day, Patrick was one of 120 students…
“The doctor said I was a few millimeters away from impacting any major nerve damage, so I got lucky with that,” said Korellis.
NBC 5 Investigates found that a FEMA report issued after the shooting determined NIU police arrived in less than a minute after the first 911 call — by then the gunman had already ended his own life. “Talking about it helps because you just get your feelings out there with people that have been through the same thing as you,” he said. “You just don’t hold it in.”
“The gunshots keep going and going. You’re just like ‘what do I do? What do I do?’ Things were flashing in front of my face, my family, my life," he said. From 2019 to 2020, there was a 33% increase in active shooter incidents followed by a 52.5% increase from 2020 to 2021. After the NIU shooting, survivors heard from students at Virginia Tech who had just gone through their own school shooting the year before.
