He was just as much of a outcast as Dylan and Eric. Kyle was the kid they could've related to the most but we'll never know. Kyle is the victim who I think about the most because he was mentally disabled too and we just starting to socially adjust at Columbine High. If he wasn't killed, he probably would've had a computer type career. Continue to Rest Easy Kyle Velasquez🕊

Being a local I’ve never seen or talked to a survivor, has anyone ever been lucky enough to?

It’s hard to imagine that it has been 25 years since the families of the 13 last celebrated the holiday season with their loved ones. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to have the empty spot at the table, an empty stocking, etc., staring right back at them, starting with that first year, let alone all those years afterwards.

And as we enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and beyond, let’s keep the families and friends of the beloved 13 and so many others in our minds, though we should also enjoy our own loved ones as well. Stay hopeful.

I don't know much about him except that he supposedly had more inside info about columbine, and was saying he would release some. He seemed to be keeping people on a string for years and then just disappeared. Does anyone know about him or if he's a total fraud and doesn't actually know or have connections to shit related to Columbine?

Just curious so i can stop caring if i see his name pop up.

Can someone assist me with the location of rampart range films? As part of my research I’m making a map of all locations the two were at and I just can’t find rampart. Any help would be appreciated and maybe compensated depending on quality. I just want this research to be top notch

That hasn’t addressed the topic as yet.

I know that Isaiah Shoels and Austin Eubanks were on it, and I think that Matthew Ketcher, Corey DePooter, and Dave Sanders might had been on the list based on how Matthew and Corey were jocks (Corey was one formerly), and how Matthew was the best friend of Isaiah, and Dave Sanders I heard that he was the football coach, but I not really sure?

It is difficult to pinpoint when Eric’s rage and Dylan’s depression and depersonalization began to take their forms. In brooks browns book he says it was during freshman year when they got bullied… but then he says in the zero hour documentary that Eric was much more popular and on the soccer team, and he was friends with the jocks who would eventually bully them. Dylan’s writings begins on march 31, 1997 which would place their “breakdowns” starting at least during sophomore year. However, Dylan mentions that he has felt “isolated” since 7th grade.

The most concrete answer would have to be meeting Chris morris during the summer of 1996. He wore the trench coat and it seemed like he introduced them to their style (KMFDM, Rammstein, the whole militaristic vibe they had, etc.) let me make it clear I am not blaming Chris morris for the massacre, it just seems like meeting him was the “turning point” in their lives as he was a member of the TCM. However, if their lives were truly fine during freshman year and they were relatively popular around the school, there’s no way that, first day back to school during sophomore year, were they just instantly bullied. It had to have been sometime between September 1996 - March 1997, they had to have been turned to outcasts in between those months.

Their bullying peaked during junior year (making fun of their heights, calling them slurs, the ketchup incident, etc.) but it seemed to have calmed down a little by senior year. Eric mentions in his journal that the class of ‘98 “should have died” as they were the ones to bully Eric and Dylan the most, and Rocky hoffschieder was part of that graduating class, so the bullying calmed, in fact it seemed like this is where they started to bully others (Dylan bullying Adam, the parking lot incident in January 1999, Dylan pushing girls in gym, etc.) sorry for the long post but I was just curious

Does anybody here wonder whether during the massacre, either Dylan or Eric had a moment of realisation of what they were doing?

Was there a moment where they realised just how deep they were in it, that they knew there was no turning back and that they had cross a threshold into almost an “alternate reality of their own lives” that they had imagined about, yet once done was surreal in of itself?

I’m not sure if that last question made any sense linguistically, but I hope the meaning is there.

Boredom? Adrenalin rush? Regrets/remorse? Disappointed in failed bombing plans? Desire to play god with people’s lives?

i get chills anytime i read about patrick ireland hearing coughing in the library because it was almost certainly dylan’s last moments.

along with that, dylan telling eric he was part jewish and then quickly covering it up aswell. that freaks me out

and anne marie holchaters whole story, the fact that she’s still paralysed to this day because of two peoples decision it breaks my heart

I know this topic comes up from time to time, but I find it really interesting. Please don’t read if you don’t believe that Eric and Dylan had any other mental health issues than depression. I want to clarify that I’m not claiming my theory is the sole reason for the tragedy, nor does it justify the massacre in any way, nor am I denying that other factors were involved. I am a strong believer that they were bullied.

It's just my opinion :) lets all be kind and have a polite discussion.

I think I read somewhere that Brooks thought Eric was bipolar? (I'm not sure where I read it, and if he actually said that) Please keep in mind that bipolar I and bipolar II are different (this distinction is often overlooked in such discussions) - While people with bipolar I have the intense highs of mania, these episodes can sometimes lead to euphoric rather than angry moods, although anger can still occur. However, the lower "highs" and the frequent depressive episodes in bipolar II can lead some individuals to feel more chronic irritability or anger, as they may lack the extreme highs that can sometimes provide relief from negative emotions. So basically bipolar II often includes periods of intense irritation and agitation, which could explain the uncontrollable rage and paranoia (insecurity, everyone hates him, girls are so unfair to him etc) he expressed. The depressive episodes could account for his extreme low moods and feelings of hopelessness. His fascination with power and control, along with his risky behavior, aligns with what people with bipolar II experience, especially when they’re unmedicated or not in treatment. These patterns make the hypothesis plausible.

Given Eric's traits and behaviors, bipolar II appears more fitting than BPD, though both bipolar II and BPD share some overlapping characteristics, like mood swings, impulsivity, and anger issues. However, there are distinctions that lean more toward bipolar II in Eric's case. (again-just my opinion)

Now the bipolar II traits that were apparent in Eric (How many can you tick off for him? 🤔):

1. Mood swings (bipolar literally is a mood disorder) and irritation- are classic bipolar II traits, particularly in hypomanic phases where people can experience heightened irritability. For Eric, he displayed frequent, intense shifts between emotions—one moment he seemed composed and the next, he would snap into anger and frustration, especially when things didn’t go his way or when he felt slighted. His irritation seemed almost always simmering beneath the surface, and minor setbacks or perceived insults could trigger disproportionately angry responses. This pattern aligns with mood instability seen in bipolar II, where small triggers can spark intense, rapid mood shifts.

2.Extreme rage: Especially when triggered by relatively small events, can be common in bipolar II, where irritability escalates into full-blown rage episodes. Eric’s rage appeared intense and often disproportionate, sometimes boiling over in a way that seemed beyond his control. He would go from frustration to explosive anger, especially if he felt misunderstood, disrespected, or restrained by authority. His journal reveals how deeply he harbored grudges and resentment (Brown family) and this anger seemed to consume him, often transforming into violent fantasies (wanting to kill Brooks). This kind of extreme rage isn’t just anger—it’s a consuming, almost blinding fury that can happen in people with bipolar II, where irritability becomes unmanageable.

3.Grandiosity or a "god complex": it's a classic feature of hypomanic episodes in bipolar II, where people feel an exaggerated sense of self-worth and superiority. Eric’s writings and behavior show clear signs of this trait. He frequently portrayed himself as being above others, with a sense of superiority that went beyond confidence into something more inflated. All this god-like bs, that he and Dylan were above others who could judge or punish other people; that he was more intelligent and insightful than the people around him, and that his worldview was somehow more “right” or justified.

Eric’s frustration over girls not seeing how “nice” he was suggests a sense of entitlement—that he believed he deserved attention and recognition simply by his own standards. This kind of grandiosity can distort one’s perception, making them feel as if the world is unfairly blind to their qualities, further fueling resentment and anger. This inflated self-view aligns closely with hypomanic grandiosity, where someone might feel larger-than-life or uniquely capable, even seeing others as lesser or less aware. Rejection sensitivity could have fed into Eric’s grandiosity as a coping mechanism. Feeling rejected or overlooked might have pushed him to overcompensate with a “god complex,” convincing himself he was better than those who dismissed him. (People with bipolar II often experience heightened emotional responses to perceived rejection or criticism. )

4. Paranoia:

Another hallmark trait, particularly when bipolar II’s mood instability intensifies feelings of mistrust and suspicion. For Eric, this showed up as a pervasive belief that the world was out to get him, that people disliked him or treated him unfairly. He often expressed frustration that society, authority figures, and other students seemed to be against him, his insecurites about his looks etc. This paranoia likely fueled his anger, making him feel isolated and misunderstood, leading to resentment that he nurtured over time. Eric often described his feelings of being wronged by the world, as if people were deliberately trying to hold him back or undermine him. This intense sense of persecution fits with the paranoia associated with bipolar II, where negative experiences can amplify fears of being disliked, targeted, or betrayed. His sense of being constantly “wronged” might have created a feedback loop, reinforcing his rage and grandiosity as he justified these feelings by viewing himself as a victim of others’ supposed malice.

5.Depression and suicidal ideation: Are significant aspects of bipolar II. Everyone who says he wasn't suicidal are delusional- he basically blew his head off! Despite his anger and grandiosity, he often seemed to feel empty and frustrated with his own existence, as if he were trapped in a world that didn’t understand him or meet his expectations. This combination of despair and rage likely compounded his depressive episodes, making him feel isolated and without a clear purpose or future. It's a common feature of bipolar II’s depressive phases, where individuals might experience such profound lows that they feel ending things is the only escape from their pain. This internalized despair, contrasted with his rage and grandiosity, created a volatile mix of emotions that likely fed into each other, leaving him oscillating between self-loathing and disdain for the world around him (we can see that in his journal)

6.Risk-taking behavior and impulsivity: Are also prominent in bipolar II, especially during hypomanic episodes where judgment can become impaired and thrill-seeking intensifies. Eric frequently engaged in risky, illegal, and dangerous activities- building bombs, breaking into a van, rebel missions(bragging about the rebel missions and bombs on his website, despite the serious consequences it could have led to). These actions weren’t just rebellious—they demonstrated a level of recklessness and disregard for consequences that aligns with hypomanic behavior. Eric seemed to get a thrill from these high-stakes situations, and he may have felt powerful or invincible while engaging in them, further feeding his grandiosity and need for control. This kind of impulsive risk-taking, combined with his anger and grandiose self-image, likely reinforced his sense of being above the rules or untouchable!!

7. Obsessive thoughts and hyper-focus: to counter feelings of inadequacy, some people with bipolar II develop obsessive perfectionism or a need to control their environment. Eric’s meticulous planning of the attack could've been a way he tried to exert control over his chaotic internal state.

Once he and Dylan began planning "nbk" it seemed to consume him completely. He became fixated on every detail of the attack, constantly thinking, talking, and writing about it. This obsessive focus became his primary outlet, seemingly taking over his thoughts and becoming the sole purpose he was working toward. This fixation went beyond simple planning—it was like he became absorbed in the idea, reinforcing his anger, grandiosity, and need for revenge. For someone experiencing hypomanic obsession, this level of focus can feel exhilarating and consuming, leaving little room for any other thoughts or interests. Eric’s obsessive drive toward carrying out the attack shows just how all-encompassing and dangerous this hyper-focus can become when combined with such destructive emotions.

8. Manipulation and a lack of remorse for deceitful behavior:

Eric frequently lied and manipulated people around him, often bragging in his journal about how easily he could deceive people. This behavior seemed to give him a sense of satisfaction and even pride, as if manipulating others reinforced his sense of superiority. Eric didn’t show much guilt over lying. Instead, he viewed it as a means to an end that he felt completely justified in employing. His sense of grandiosity and anger toward the world made him feel entitled to treat others however he wanted, further reinforcing the dangerous combination of traits that marked his mental state.

9. Intense attachment and near-obsessive focus on one person:

For Eric, Dylan became this person—a companion who not only joined him in the massacre but also seemed to reinforce Eric’s sense of purpose and shared anger. Eric's attachment to Dylan seemed to go beyond what Dylan felt for him; he likely saw Dylan as someone who understood and validated his darkest thoughts, fueling his obsessions. This kind of intense, almost exclusive bond is common in bipolar II, where someone may latch onto a person who they feel “gets” them, aligning with their views or reinforcing their plans. This can create a dynamic where they rely heavily on that person for emotional support or validation, which Eric seemed to do with Dylan.

10. Luvox and mania:

Eric was on a high dose of Luvox (390 mg), which is a substantial amount, especially for someone who might have undiagnosed bipolar II. For someone prone to mood swings and hypomania, SSRIs can destabilize their mood further, often amplifying traits like rage, grandiosity, and risk-taking. Eric's documented behaviors during this period (some people said that he changed in senior year)—heightened anger, fixation on violent plans, and disregard for consequences—might have been exacerbated by the medication. I was on zoloft and it ruined me. You really shouldn't be on SSRIs when you're bipolar, atleast not without mood stabilizers. With bipolar disorder, you not only need medication but also frequent therapy sessions. I think it played a big role and he never should've been on SSRIs(especially not 'playing' with them—sometimes taking them and other times skipping)

11. Social Disconnection and Intense Distrust: His inability to form stable, close relationships beyond Dylan hints at the social difficulties some with bipolar II experience, particularly during mood swings or when feeling misunderstood.

12.Sensory overload: stimulus overload can lead to emotional dysregulation, where someone reacts strongly to minor irritations because their brain is already overwhelmed. This could explain why Eric’s anger seemed to boil over quickly in certain situations, as he may have been dealing with an overload of sensory or emotional input.

I'm not trying to paint bipolar disorder in a negative light (and ofc everyone's experiences are different). In fact, I have bipolar II and I didn’t shoot up my school. This is simply an interesting topic to me. Do you think it's possible? What diagnosis do you think fits him and why?

Also, I know his journal should be taken with a grain of salt

• I've seen so many times that 'Oh, he had ASPD or BPD,' but they never break down why they think that. It’s like most of them don’t really know what these disorders actually are.. And I’m not saying that my theory is the right one (again). Of course, we're never gonna all agree. I'm not trying to be dismissive; I just genuinely wish we could have an open discussion about it 😁 Maybe someone with BPD could make a similar post? 🙂

Since bipolar is a mood disorder and borderline is a personality disorder, I believe bipolar is more reasonable. To me it seems it had to do less with his personality and more with his struggles with mood regulation. But of course, borderline often develops due to environmental factors, such as bullying in this case. And stress and environmental factors (again bullying;moving; high school ending) can trigger or exacerbate bipolar disorder episodes. Also it is possible to have BOTH bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder (I can't even imagine how hard that must be). Sorry if I offended anyone with bipolar or BPD. That wasn’t my intention at all- I know how hard and misunderstood mental health issues are.

Many people assume that bipolar II disorder means you experience distinct, prolonged periods of either depression or stability with only occasional mood swings. And that's why bipolar 2 isn't likely in Eric's case. However, it’s not just about the "big shifts" between hypomania and depression. For many with bipolar II, the rage isn't confined to hypomanic episodes; instead, it often simmers beneath the surface, an ever-present tension that can erupt with little provocation.

I believe Eric's mental health struggles were complex, and he likely had multiple diagnoses contributing to his behavior. And of course, the truth is that Eric is no longer alive, which leaves us with nothing but speculation

*I've seen people sometimes call Eric/Dylan manic-depressive- the term "manic-depressive" is an older name for what is now referred to as bipolar disorder, which includes bipolar I and bipolar II.

What extent of awareness do you think he really had about NBK? How close was he to Eric/Dylan? Do you think he actually had insider knowledge but coveted it up? Or do you feel he genuinely wanted to talk Eric/Dylan when he heard the shootings had started?

Particularly interested in analysis on Sue Klebold.

There was a book made for students to write stuff about the tragedy to cope. Written by the girl who spent the night with Eric watching a movie when Dylan was at prom.

“Eric David Harris. I didn’t know the person hiding under your smile. I didn’t know the pain you carried in your heart. I didn't know the torture you endured for so long. And I didn't want to believe you were capable of such destruction. I didn't know I could feel such pain for someone I really didn't know. If I knew what your eyes hid, and what your mind was screaming, maybe I could have helped you. I could have loved you. All I know is the pain I am feeling inside. All I know is the person I talked to every day, the person who seemed happy, the person who always helped me and made sure I had everything I needed. I see your picture on the pages, they say what a monster you are, they say how you were mean and cruel. But you see, I can't believe what they say. I knew the smiling person, the person who helped me. I don't want to hear it anymore. I want it to go away, the angry cries well up in me and I hate you for making me so scared and sad. Leaving me without any explanation. Leaving me with wandering thoughts and hollow cries. Did you try and reach me? Did you try to tell me? I will live with the memories and the unanswered questions I hold in my heart. Not a day will go by that I will not wonder why. As time goes by, I am getting stronger, but then the moment comes when I break down and cry, I am so sorry I didn't see the rage you had inside. I am sorry I was so blind and couldn't see all the things you tried to show me. No matter how wrong you were, I will love the person who smiled and said 'Hi' to me every day. I promise to never forget the person I knew, and forget the person they say you were. Love Always and Forever, [redacted]”

He aPPeared to conceal his nature more effectively than Eric.

I’m assuming this was taken by a relative, maybe Patricia, as she did mention in an interview she goes there a few times every month! Corey was so incredibly loved, it breaks my heart.

Hi all (I've had mod approval to post this); I'm an academic at the University of South Wales and I'm doing some research around murderabilia. While a lot has been written in the media about murderabilia much of it is sensationalist, and there has been little engagement with murderabilia and collectors in academic work. This research aims to fill the gap.

If you collect murderabilia I'm hoping that you might be interested in completing the below questionnaire. You aren't asked for your name and unless you provide an email address to be kept informed of research results I won't know who has completed it. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. Many thanks.

How do you think the conversation happened?

I see lot of people complain that Eric Harris could not have ASPD because he showed some emotions.

That is incorrect. Actually people with psychopathic traits do have emotions.

But their emotions are much less deeper than averages.

For example bpd have deep emotions while ASPD have low or mild emotions.

Fits for Eric who was calm collected while murdering innocent people.

Someone who plans to kill hundreds and jokes before killling from close range is a barely good boy. Eric pulled a classic ASPD stunt. They do this all the time. Those people claim they are sorry while they are not. They have averages under control. And they can make us believe anything.

7/10 - For 18 years old boy he was pretty destructive , can not imagine him getting older

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster here. A few days ago I started getting into the case again, watching some documentaries and reading through some case files and I caught myself thinking - how is it, that every few months I get sucked back into Columbine? I wasn't even conceived when this happened, and I am not even from the U.S. (sorry in advance for any errors in my writing). How can it be, that every few months I see some random post on Reddit or video on YouTube about the case and think "Huh, interesting, I gotta read/research about this", even though I am pretty familiar with the whole thing?

I have some theories about this, but I'd love some input of other people who might feel the same.

My first theory is the fact that in my opinion, a lot of the documentaries are more about Eric and Dylan and their mental state, journals, previous incidents, and everything that led up to them committing the shooting, rather than the victims and their families. Now, this might just be my personal perception of things, maybe I just haven't come across many documentaries about the victims (recommendations are appreciated), but it's just something I've experienced. I find this personally very fascinating, since it gives us some insight into their minds, their perception of things and their descend into the madness that was the Columbine shooting. The coverage of Eric and Dylan's lives leading up to the shooting is pretty insane in my opinion. Every little thing has been picked apart at this point and yet we still haven't seen images of Dylan's room for example. So many things are kept locked away from the public, the basement tapes have (allegedly) been destroyed forever and more than 25 years after the shooting, we still don't have all of the information.

This brings me to my second theory on why Columbine is so fascinating - the theories. With so much information out there and yet so much still missing, it's no hard guess on why there are so many different theories on pretty much anything. From the basement tapes and what's on them, to MK Ultra (which I personally don't believe in, I've just seen it on some Columbine iceberg) pretty much anything goes. While it's fun to speculate on what might be on the basement tapes, I think if all of the information was out there, stuff like MK Ultra or similar things might've not been as prominent in recent years. I think some of it might've also helped in understanding and comprehending (NOT preventing!) similar shootings. Now, while I understand to some degree, why information might've been withheld for such a long time (like manuals for building bombs), I still wonder what else and why it's being hidden.

My third theory is the fact that Eric and especially Dylan were so accurate in their predictions. While they're of course not in any way godlike (at least to majority of people), they were very self aware and hauntingly correct about their shooting influencing so so many others in the future. So many school shooters over the past 2 decades have claimed to draw their inspiration from the Columbine shooting, so many have quoted either Eric or Dylan or both in their own personal journals, and so many have used their meticulous way of planning and prepaing for "NBK" for their own prepararions. I think the main reason for that might be the fact that they were depressed teenagers that didn't fit into society like they wanted to, and I personally can relate to that. My school years were horrible, I was bullied into self harm and thought about ending my own life more than once. While I can sympathize with that, I don't understand how you can even remotely think about taking other innocent people with you. Yes, they wanted revenge, I get that. But why not just destroy some windows or slice some tires or write some angry letters to parents/teachers? Why kill? Maybe I just don't have the "mind of a killer" (thank God or whoever for that) but I cannot for the life of me imagine killing someone because I've been picked on in school. Maybe it's hindsight speaking, but your school years are the least amount of time you spend anywhere. You have 10 or 12 (here in Germany sometimes 13) years of school and then maybe 3 or 4 more if you wanna go to University. At that point you're in your mid 20s and have so much more to look forward to. Why didn't they just wait a few more weeks, get some petty revenge by egging some houses or something, and then carry on? Then again, at least Dylan was horribly depressed to the point where I believe, he would've just killed himself no matter what. But yeah, the fact that some people even think about taking others with them just fascinates me, I can't really comprehend it.

My last theory is just geographical and/or cultural differences. As mentioned before, I am from Germany, and while we had some pretty bad school shootings and a few terrorist attacks, it's just so unbelievably rare. From what I know (I've been out of any type of school since 2023, out of high school since 2017) our security systems inside the schools are nowhere near the stuff that happens in the U.S. We don't sell bulletproof backpacks (which is so f*cking sad by the way), we don't have metal detectors at the entrances, we don't need safety drills. It's just beyond me. How it could ever go so far that 6 year olds have to wear bulletproof backpacks to not be shot at school? My God. While I am glad to live in a relatively safe country in that regard, my heart goes out to anyone affected by any kind of school violence. I don't have kids and I can't imagine how it must feel to send your kid to school every day, not knowing if they will come home unharmed in the afternoon.

On that rather sad note (sorry about that), what are your thoughts on this? Why is Columbine so captivating to this day, and has it impacted any other aspects of (school) life that I haven't mentioned? Thanks in advance!

Hi all this is my first post here as I have recently become interested in learning about the terrible event that was the columbine shooting as I am a non american and it happened before I was born so I've never really knew too much about it I've been diving deep into survivor statements, crime scene photos, interviews, autopsy reports, etc

I've just finished reading eric and dylans journal entries and something that really stuck out to me is just how differently the two thought of themselves.

dylan seems to constantly refer to himself as a god and makes many statements about it as if it was just an obvious fact that warranted little explanation and he seems to truely believe it he even refers to his body at one point as his "human form" and seems to allude to being released from it after death it seems to be a delusion he fully bought into

Eric on the other hand seems to be under no such delusion referring to humans and humanity constantly and including himself in that which directly opposes dylans views saying things like "we aren't GODS" and "as part of the human race" he also uses the word "we" when talking about humans he seems to be more upset about humans denying their nature or independence.

the closest he comes to the god delusion that dylan has is when he says things like "I feel like a god and I wish I was having everyone be OFFICIALLY lower than me" and after acquiring firearms for the first time he says "I am fucking armed I feel more confident stronger more god-like" notably than last quote was a later journal entry which could imply that perhaps dylan may have been trying to convince Eric of their actual godhood

I just think it's interesting that they seem to align more on their mutal hatred of humanity than their views of themselves and you would think this would make them less friendly with each other since they seem rather opposed ideologically eric particularly seems to dislike people who think they are better than him.

It makes you think because surely this subject must have come up in conversation between them before when talking about their hatred of people I suppose their is just so much we will never truly understand.

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this would love to hear others thoughts on this if you have any

Hey everyone,

I'm sure you can file this under "stupid questions", but I've been wondering lately: Is there any record of what was happening that day in other areas of the campus?

What I mean is: Eric and Dylan seemed to go from outside the cafeteria, through the halls, to the library, to the cafeteria, and back to the library. And considering how large Columbine High School is, what with over 2000 students at the time of the massacre, what was happening in other areas of the school that was not effected by the chaos Eric and Dylan were inflicting?

Were the students and staff in places like the band hall or gym for example even aware gunfire and explosions were occurring? Were they told via PA system to stay in place in their rooms with the doors locked as what is common amongst public shootings? Did anyone in those parts of the school take it seriously since they likely couldn't hear the commotion going on?

Understandably, all the books I've read and listened to and documentaries I've seen only talk about the immediate destruction inflicted by Eric and Dylan, and never mention anything about what the students and staff in other areas of the school must have been thinking and feeling.

did the monitors in the library record any footage of what happened? and If so, what happened with the footage...

It’s a great book and I thought that some of you might be interested. Haven’t quite finished it yet, but I like how the author organizes the book by thoughts rather than by chronological events so many school shooting events are covered as well as Columbine. It’s very thought-provoking.
