DEKALB - Trustees at Northern Illinois University are convening a task force to study the school's response to the deadly Valentine's Day shootings that killed five students.

The panel will review how the college reacted to Steven Kazmierczak's shooting spree in DeKalb. The task force also will examine how the campus notified students of the attack and how the DeKalb school dealt with the mental health of its students before and after the massacre. But relatives of some victims say they're concerned that the panel won't examine Kazmierczak's mental health issues. Bob Greer's stepson Daniel Parmenter was killed in the attack. He says he's satisfied with the reaction of authorities in DeKalb, but he says he still has a lot of questions about Kazmierczak.
