When asked before the event about their experience here at Harvard, they praised Harvard’s dining hall food but said students in China have more of a social life because they live closer together...

The sixth fatality was the gunman, identified as Steven P. Kazmierczak, 27, who apparently took his own life on the lecture hall stage. Many others were shot...
...says. So Santos stood up, grabbed his girlfriend, and stood against the wall. The couple, both rail-thin, moved in the roughly 10-inch gap between the wall and row of seats.
