Northwestern fans paint chest to show support for Purdue

Northwestern’s student section displayed a strong sense of compassion on Tuesday during the school’s basketball game against Purdue.

There was a shooting Tuesday on the Purdue University campus that left a 21-year-old senior dead. The shooting occurred inside the school’s electrical engineering building, and it is believed the victim was targeted by the 23-year-old suspect.

Purdue’s men’s basketball team traveled to Evanston for a game against Northwestern, and a group of males in the Northwestern student section aka “Wildside” painted their chests to spell “Stand With Purdue.” It was a great gesture by the Northwestern students during a time of tragedy.
