Narrative:

On 5·4-99 I spoke with Patrice Doyle, she is a student at Columbine High Schoo!.

LE ---I had left a message at her residence for Patrice to contact me. Whenshe contacted me I told her I need tospeakwith her reference Eric Harris. She said she didnot knowhim well but did have him in a bowling classand Government Economics. She said she knewDylan alsoand did not think theywould becapable ofdoing something like this. She said Dylan and Eric were teased because theywore black trench coats, butthe leaSing was very minor. She said beforethey began wearing the trench coats they werenot teased atail. She said last year Eric was looked up to because he was smart. This year he started wearing the blackcloths bootsand the coat and becamea loner.

e said she did not go out of herway to talk with him butwou y I"as they passed in class or t hall. Patrice then said the only thing she could think of wasErir; and Dylan were teased In the bowling class because they bowled 'weird". I asked her to tell me wha,t

eirdabout it. She said Erio bowled like he was doing a forward pass of a basket bailor you wouldtl , a medicine bail. Dylan would bowl as if he was throwing a softbail. He would bring the ball ail the wayover his head. She said the team they wereon was weird team. Shetold me the team was EricHarris,Dylan Kleboid, Chris Morris and another unknown male.

Patrice then said the last time she saw Eric and Dylan was the day of the shooting. She had walked out ofthe school by the library with Jannie Roberts. Eric and Dylan were at the top of the stairs dressed in blacktrench coats. Eric had looked at her and nodded, he then looked down and was fumbling with something,Dylan was just standing there. She did not notice anyone else around them. She then went down the stairsto the parking lot and then heard the shots. She thought It was for a Video class and began Jooking for thecameraman. She then realized what was happening and tookcover in the lot, Additional questions werenot asked as she laid me she had been interviewed.

not think that Eric was ever over at their house.) He said that hedid know Eric by face and name but did not know what kind of person

he WaS. He then said that Eric was pro:bably not over at his houseas he initially thought.

* When asked about Dylan Kle:bold, he did not know him :by face or

name. (His father added that Christie has known Dylan for a number

of years as they went to school together, :but Nathan would have beentoo young to remember him.)

• When asked about""""'-", he said he did not knew him byface er name.

then went up to the science

They then went down to the

JC·001- 000795

* He and John then went out the south canopy doors and then sat

outside on the patio on the first concrete bench closest to the west

windows of the commons area. H" put his dark green backpack on the

concrete.

• He then heard some sounds like gunshots coming from the hill

outside the cafeteria. He then saw everyone in the cafeteria

ducking down under tables. He then saw everyone on the cafeteria

running up the stairs. He first thought it was some kind of paint

ball incident related to sOme kind of an evacuation exercise.

* He left his baCkpaok behind and ran into the cafeteria via the

furthest east door along the south bank of oafeteria doors.

* As he got to the top of the stairs he saw Mr. Sanders fall in

the hallway just west of the top of the stairs. When asked if Mr.

Sanders was shot, he said he thought he saw blood somewhere on Mr.

sanders when he fell. When asked, he said that it was 2 to 3

minutes from the time he first heard the shots to the time he was at

the top of the stairs and saw Mr. Sanders fall.

* He ran down a science area hallway and into a biology class

with about 30 other students. On a diagram, he pointed to the

farthest southwest corner classroom in the science area. He said

that after about 3 minutes from the time he saw Mr. Sanders fall, he

saw Mr. Sanders "wander" into the classroom he was in and then saw

him fall or lay down on the floor of the classroom. He referred to

the diagram to show the location Mr. Sanders went down in the

classroom. During this time, he kept hearing gunshots. He could

not tell where Mr. Sanders was shot but heard from other students

that he had some kind of a face wound.

* An unknown teacher was called in from one of the other classes

to help with first aid. He said that two unknown students helped

with the first aid. The teacher came from one of the connecting

classes along the south of the science area.

3 JC-001_ 000796

* He continued to hear gunshots for a while and then they

stopped. He and other students tipped over desks to provide cover.

He said that the school t s fire alarm was going off along with the

class bell that would not turn off.

* He said that they watched a television in that room to find out

what was going on. He was in the room from 1 to 1 1/2 hours before

a SWAT team came in. He thought the SWAT team came in from the

connecting classroom to the north of them. He said that all the

students lined up along the west walls of the classrooms there and

then were led out. They went out via the stairs to the commons area

and then out the west cafeteria door.

* He saw no suspects or heard any suspect voices. He thought

from the gunshots he heard that the suspects may have been in the

main hallway at the top of the stairs that leads east in front of

the science area.

* He had left his backpack outside on the patio and saw it there

later during television news accounts of the shooting. He does not

lenow how his backpack ended up at table I as documented on the

backpack list.

Mr. Epling said that his daughter Christie was interviewed the

Thursday after the shooting by who he thought was a female FBI

Agent. This concluded my interview with Nathan Epling.
