It's Friday, which means it's time for our Reporter Roundtable where we talk about stories making headlines in different parts of the state. We start in Chatham, south of Springfield, where a vehicle drove through an after-school facility and killed four children between the ages of 7 and 18 and injured six others. Plus, we get an update on a shooting that took place on the Illinois State University campus.
