On Sunday, September 29 2013, in the dark, a man with a gun approached a college campus in Nigeria late at night. The gunmen proceeded to shoot violently and killed at least 21 people in their sleep, the article says. For some reason, he aimed for the guy's dorm. The man will be charged accordingly. The article goes on to explain and question that this may be part of a pattern. Starting in year, 2009 a certain group called Boko Haram has attempted murder in the northeastern region of Nigeria. Boko Haram apparently translates to "Western Education is a sin."
I find this to be very disturbing. These college students were harming no one, causing no trouble. They were literally sound asleep where they thought they were safe, on campus, in their rooms. Unfortunately, they were not safe at all. I also find this to be interesting because people are detecting a pattern among this group, Boko Haram. It sounds like this group is out to get Western schools so people in the western region of Nigeria really need to be careful and possibly up the security or something of the sort.

I think that this article is very interesting and unexpected. Normally people who want to make a news story or thrive for attention commit these crimes in the dead of the day to affect more people so it's interesting that it happened at night.
