    The principal initially was going to stay until the freshman class from 1998/1999 graduated, but then he stayed another 20 years - until every single child enrolled in that district for 1998/1999 graduated. So very, very admirable.

      Had two people killed right next to him, a few others nearby and his sister was the first one killed. And the last conversation he had with her was an argument. Can’t imagine how he can find peace in his life after all that. That would NEVER go away.

    Craig Scott had to witness the massacre in the library, and witness his best friends get killed there as well. He's definitely an inspiration, but you can just see it in his eyes, that he's really messed up, even after all these years. He also lost his sister in the shooting. He probably suffers from PTSD, and probably can't sleep at night, unless he's heavily medicated. Poor guy. I hope he's doin alright these days.

      Ironically enough there was another school shooting in Georgia in suburban Atlanta just a short time after Columbine. Although nobody was killed and only a few injured, it still was chilling because it made you wonder how many copycats it would inspire. Thankfully things calmed down for awhile after that, then 9/11 happened and then domestic terrorism became the most serious threat. Then Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, Parkland and a few others. Now Uvalde (sorry if I butchered the spelling) then Nashville and now more recently wasn’t there somewhere else?

    My youngest had just started high school. She was home sick that day. We sat together and talked about how scary it was. She started planning that day, finding out how to get out of the school, where best to hide, and it just changed her. It made her more determined to survive through anything. Two years later, on 9-11, she was again home sick (her senior year) and her brother and family also lived with us. We all sat watching and at one point my daughter looked at me and said, "that's it. I can't stay home again. Every time I do, something bad happens." Broke my heart. She grown now, has a senior and a sophomore in high school and a new baby. She taught college biology and now researches. We got through it, but so many haven't since that day. Bless you Craig, walking was the best thing you could do, and I admire you for the courage to do it.

One of my very good friends grew up in Littleton & was at the middle school close by when they heard all of this going on. Such a tragic day, I still wish they would release the basement tapes so we all can analyze the warning signs they showed.

      @@varsityathlete3354 Nothing like columbine had ever happened before. So whilst the death toll of victims tragically taken seems extremely low for a tragedy to be so infamous, the attack changed America. Never before had teenagers just outright attacked their school like terrorists, heavily armed with bombs and weapons. Had Harris and Klebold 'wanted' to kill 50 poor kids and teachers they could have because they were left unchallenged by confused law enforcement. I will always believe the insanely disgusting rise in frequency of such tragedies, and their respective death tolls is largely the result of how the world reacted to Columbine. The two killers not being challenged by police allowed them to roam around the school for an hour, throwing bombs destroying memorabilia and living out their fantasy of highschool revenge. Millions of depressed, angry, bullied or isolated teens got hardwired to that fantasy. 'I'll happily die if it means I can roam around my bitterly hated highschool for an hour, killing who I please and destroying it.' Becoming famous in the process. However, police were forced to adapt their tactics after Columbine and intervene immediately. So the would be shooters started to use ever more deadly weaponry aiming for mass casualties in the 5-8 minutes they would have to do it. So school, and mass, shootings in America just got ever briefer and ever deadlier.

      Computer models show that the Columbine sh*oting would have had ~5 victims or less if they followed that model (Dylan and Eric would have been swarmed in the cafeteria).
      But Columbine is a big reason we know that now 😢 it’s also why we know the police have to engage with the shooter immediately.

But in the decades since this tragedy this type of event has become all too common whether in a school a parade a restaurant or any public place. Mass shootings have become all too frequent.
    Lastly, I want to draw attention to one person who shed light as best she could on the Columbine tragedy
    About 15 years ago I came across an article that I think everyone should take the time to read as it put the hook in me and to this day I still think of this words written and the one picture that accpanies the article.
    The picture is thst of a young boy who is smiling for the camera and a birthday cake laid out on the table in front of him. Seated next to the little boy is a middle aged woman who has her arm bent at an angle and her hand supporting her chin as she looks like she had a long day at work but wanted to make her sons birthday as special as it could be at that moment.
    The article written many years later after Columbine is that of the mother of Dylan Klebold and her recollection of the events leading up to that horrific day and her struggle to deal with the tragedy and in search of any signs she somehow missed and or was unable to see with regards to her son who along with Eric Harris committed such a horrible series of crimes.
    Her position on this and her memory are candid and with absolute empathy and sorrow that her son the young happy boy about to enjoy his birthday many years before in the picture accompanying the article would as he would later inflict such horror on the community and a nation and the world.
    For parents who have young children who soon will be heading into their teenage years and later adulthood I highly recommend you read her story. It's well written and a complete eye opener. I think her courage to engage this reveal and tell the world should be noted..

    I think it’s crazy to say that bullying was a major factor. Many of us get bullied but we don’t resort to horrific acts.

    Eric was a classic case of neglect from his pilot father who was probably never around. He probably never had any sort of discipline and was spoiled out of guilt of his own parents.

    Daniel Mauser’s father seems to have never been able to find peace after losing his son.
    I can only wish peace, to some degree, for these parents. I can’t even try to imagine their pain. All the parents over the years, that have lost children to these travesty’s, such a deep, unfathomable loss is beyond me.
    God willing, someday this will be written about as a time in our history plagued by an unreasonable war within our own schools. And will be spoken of in only the past tense.
    Until then, I discuss with my daughter what she ought to do in such a situation, and her classes are interrupted with active shooter drills.
    This shouldn’t be happening.
    Yet it is.
