Columbine High School Shooting Massacre, Way back in April 20, 1999 Options

maybe, but didn't it say that they just left the room? it said they reloaded their gun and left. where would the shot have come from? surely he wouldn't think a shot from another room was just 25 feet away. it's not that far. it's like me talking to someone on the other side of my living room. i'm sure he was scared and shocked, but could he have messed the story up that bad?

Well, he seems to have at least messed up a few things. If Valeen and Emily's accounts are true, Craig is just mistaken that he heard Emily's voice and that she got shot for her answer. If Craig's account is true, he still misheard in a sense, in that he reported that the area from which he heard the exchange was not the area where Emily was killed, but where Valeen experienced her exchange with Harris. Also, they did leave the library after the incident with Valeen, however, only a single gunmen was asking her the questions. The other gunmen was still firing his weapon into desks and at random.

Also, we can not be 100% positive on either way. You simply have to weigh the evidence. It seems that the evidence is pointing towards Emily and Valeen's account of the events as opposed to Craig's.

This is another example of the "after the fact" reaction. They should have been, and should now be, working on preventing this sort of thing at all costs.

Sorry if there is a topic like this!

I recently watched a documentary called Bowling for Columbine. It's basically about a high school massacre in Columbine High School and the director's thoughts on gun violence.
Anyways I really want to talk about the high school shooting a bit more. It's the second deadliest attack on a school and the deadliest school shooting. The two shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and teachers and injured 24 others. The documentary I mentioned earlier has detailed footage of what had happened through the security cameras (boy were they brutal). These two students were "out-casts" of the school and were full of hatred towards their fellow students.
here is a detailed article of it:
Wikipedia explains what happened before, during, and after the shooting
The Depressive and the Psychopath

I know this happened years ago, but I want to see if there were people who actually went to Columbine, heard of it in the news by the time it came out, and a few of your reactions (and theories as to why this happened).

I remember what had happened on that day as if it were about an hour ago. I was in the 5th grade when it all happened. I was so sad and scared because my cousin was right in front of the school waiting for his "girlfriend" Cassie Bernall.(not really sure if thats true but its what my family believes) I went to the original memorial where the Columbine song was first sung. I was a little sad because there were protesters everywhere saying how much God didn't love us. As they were playing the Columbine song there were 13 balloons that were released into the sky. You could tell that it was a sad day because it was very gloomy outside. When those balloons were released the clouds parted in the spots where the balloons were floating and as soon as the last balloon drifted up, the clouds closed again. Since then I have been affected by this massacre. I feel that all of this could have been prevented if there were just some others that could have reached out to Harris and Klebold. I am in no way saying that any of this was the victims' fault I just feel that if those boys were to ever feel an ounce of acceptance then maybe just maybe something could have stopped them.

Well there's no straight forward solution to gun shootings . Taking away guns wouldn't work in a society which already has high number of guns per capita it only make the law abiding people at a disadvantage . A better psychological help unit for schools/colleges and regular help for people who are starting to devlop problems might help .
