North Lake College Gunman
Where did the shooting take place?
On May 4th 2017, there was a shooting in a very well known community college in Irving, Texas. Janeera Nickol Gonzalez, one of the students of North Lake College was found shot to death in a common study area inside the Performance Hall building around noon on that very day, shortly after the school went into lock down because a shooter was reported on campus.
Officers found the body of the gunman, 21 year old Adrian Victor Torres, inside a locker room shower stall in Building F, which is adjacent to the North Lake Aquatic Center. He has what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Gonzalez's mother, Lucia Gonzalez, told WFAA-TV that her daughter didn't see Torres as a threat. "He had been stalking her for quite a while, but she didn't make anything of it," she said. Lucia Gonzalez also said that her daughter hadn't dated Torres and that the two weren't friends. She told that Torres had left North Lake to attend school elsewhere, but had returned to the school in the past few weeks.
Witnesses told the family that Torres had walked up to Gonzalez and yelled at her before shooting: "You know who I am, and you know why I am here." The Gonzalezes said their daughter, who was studying Kinesiology, was going to graduate in coming weeks. They went to North Lake to look for her when she didn't respond to text messages Wednesday afternoon. "She was the best daughter any mother could have. The best girl, the best of everything," her mother said. "We're not gonna see her again. She was a harmless girl," said her father Juan Gonzalez. "She was very sweet."
