10 years ago today, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot and killed 12 classmates and a teacher, before killing themselves, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. 23 others were wounded.
It was one of the saddest days in recent U.S. history.
It forever marked a community and a nation.
And it changed the direction of my life.
I am grateful to all the members of the Columbine community who chose to speak with me in 1999-2000, especially the parents of the victims and the Columbine students, the survivors.
Today, let us remember the victims:
Cassie Bernall (age 17)
Steven Curnow (age 14)
Corey Depooter (age 17)
Kelley Fleming (age 16)
Matthew Kechter (age 16)
Daniel Mauser (age 15)
Daniel Rohrbough (age 15)
Rachel Scott (age 17)
Isaiah Shoels (age 18)
John Tomlin (age 16)
Lauren Townsend (age 18)
Kyle Velasquez (age 16)
William “Dave” Sanders (age 47)
R.I.P. We are all Columbine.
