Father of Steven Kazmierczak, NIU Shooter, Pleads for Privacy

Robert Kazmierczak, the father of NIU gunman Steven Kazmierczak, appeared on the porch of his Lakeland, Florida home and pled for privacy, telling a reporter “Please leave me alone. I have no statement to make.”

Reporters had been trying to contact Robert Kazmierczak after it was discovered his son, Steven Kazmierczak, was responsible for killing five students on the campus of Northern Illinois University on Thursday before taking his own life.

The Polk County, Florida, Sheriff’s Department was requested to notify Robert Kazmierczak that his son had died. Shortly after being notified Kazmierczak found several reporters in his yard.

He made a brief appearance requesting the reporters leave, saying “It's a very hard time. I'm a diabetic.” Kazmierczak then broke down in tears and went back inside the house. It has been reported that he recently lost his wife as well.
