Northern Illinois University plans a memorial wreath presentation and candlelight vigil to mark the second anniversary of shootings on the campus that left five students dead.
A gunman entered a geology lecture two years ago on Feb. 14, 2008. He opened fire at the DeKalb school, killing five students and wounding more than a dozen before fatally shooting himself.
Both the wreath presentation and vigil are to be at the school's Martin Luther King Commons. The events also are available via Webcast.
