On April 20th 1999 is when a killing spree took place in Columbine high school in Colorado. It was carried
out by two teenagers named Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. At approximately 11:19 am the two were
dressed in trench coats when they began shooting their fellow students who were outside the school.
They then proceed to the school library inside the school where they gunned down many of their
victims. At approximately 11:35am they had killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded more than
20 other people in the school, before turning guns to themselves shortly after 12 pm killing themselves.
Later on when investigation took placed it suggest that the two had arrived in separate cars around
11:10am that day and went to the school cafeteria where they placed two bags each containing 20
pounds of propane bombs set to explode at 11:17am , they then went back to their cars and waited the
bombs to go off. When they failed to detonate, is there when the two started the killing spree. Early on
16th march the same year the two had recorded a video of them practicing shooting Rampart range at
Colorado.
In that kind of tragedy I found it interesting that the two shooters, they did not use the bombs they had
because they did not reset them when they did not explode. Other interesting thing is that Dylan and
Eric did the shooting two weeks before their graduation and also, they had planned the attack over a
year.
