FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

5/19/99

On 5/13/99, Spencer Grange, DOB 10/19/80, 5484 SouthHoyt Street, Littleton, Colorado was advised of the identity ofthe interviewing Agent, and the nature and purpose of theinterview. He provided the following information.

On 4/20/99, Spencer arrived at the Columbine HighSchool at approximately 7:10 a.m. He went to thecommons/cafeteria area, and sat at table H. He sat at this tablewith his brother Daniel Grange, and two other brothers, Aaron andSpencer Wright. They sat there until their first class whichbegins at approximately 7:30 a.m. He did~t notice any duffelbags Or packages out of the ordinary in the cafeteria.

Spencer was in physics class when the shooting incidentbegan. An unidentified student opened the door to his classroom,and told the class that someone had been shot. At the directionof the class teacher, Mr. Manuelo, he exited the classroom. Inthe math/science hall, he saw a large crowd of students runningdown the hallway toward the east exit. He ran and entered aphysics storeroom in the vicinity of the physics classroom.While in this storeroom, he could hear gun shots. He remained inthe storeroom for a long While, until he and several others werelater evacuated by SWAT teams.

Spencer never saw anyone carrying any duffel bags orotherwise in the school on either Monday or Tuesday. Although hekne~ who Klebold and Harris were, (they were both in his creativewriting class), he didn't associate ~ith them. He thinks thatboth Klebold and Harris were in class on Monday, but certainlynot in class on Tuesday. He viewed them as outcasts, but didn'tthink they were part of the Trench Coat Mafia (TCl'l). He didn'tsee anyone known to him to be in the TCM on Monday or Tuesday.
