Elk Grove man identified as gunman in NIU killings(Photo also)

Authorities today identified the gunman who killed 6 and wounded 15 at Northern Illinois University as Steven P. Kazmierczak, 27, formerly of Elk Grove Village, the Associated Press reported.

He was apparently a bright student with a clear interest in social justice and criminal law before he turned the gun on himself Thursday afternoon.

He was most recently registered as a graduate student pursuing a masters degree in sociology at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. He apparently had transferred there after being enrolled for the same courses at NIU from at least 2006 up until the spring of 2007.

Just before he left NIU, Kazmierczak's 58-year-old mother died in the fall of 2006 after suffering from ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, a degenerative disease, according to obituaries from the time and ALS memorial Web sites.

But before leaving NIU, Kazmierczak was active in the sociology department. He co- author a published study on prison policy, entitled "Self-injury in Correctional Settings: 'Pathology' of Prisoners or of Prisons?"

The amazing thing is that he was a criminal justice scholar and wrote papers about self inflicted injuries in prison.
