However, the Evanston community has progressively seen the situation get worse. The college students are beginning to buy houses next door to families with young children, which, potentially causes a problem. While there are no laws forbidding NU students living off campus, people in these areas are becoming upset with the result of the students living in next door.

And Oregon is not alone.

Because of this, Joyce Carol Oates' decision to use Fioccos' death as a fictional basis was ethical. The sad story is still mostly a mystery because of the ongoing investigation, and both the police and autopsy report were withheld from the public.

Ever since Columbine, a high school shooting involving two gunmen and thirteen students killed, it seems this was so similar to Pandora’s Box; now that it’s been opened, its bringing chaos.
