We were headed.iorth on Pierce when suddenly we saw a police cruiser in the middle of the roadbeside a cargovanand a little Mazda. I figured"oh well another accident that could have been prevented and everyoneis over reacting," I had no idea how wrongI was. [ told the person driving to head in the Woodmarneighborhood so we could gel to school using my "stealth" route. We were then passed bya bunch ofkids in a White Cherokee who were honking and waving their armsat us. [thought to myself"Crapthey wanna beat me up and we cant get awaybecause her car is too slow" Thenthey honked ateveryoneelse so I felt a lot better I then told her to try a different way to school. We headed north onWadsworth then turned and went on Bowles where we eventuallygot to piecethestreet myschool isone. This is where I knew somethingwas very wrong,

Piece was blockedoff fromthis side of school as well. As we waited in a crowded intersection ascops desperately tried to guide traffic, I saw a horde of my fellow students running towards us.t~1'!;lled au Girl I knew and askedher what happene<i- S1iesmd"'Some~ in blackchargediatost!lbof~1f/j' eVdl)J\iiie!!'" I saw hundreds of"parentswho somehow foandout aboutall this.They were running every which way trying to find their sons and daughters, It 'was a terriblydisturbing sight. I'rememberspecifically one little girl from mycaoir ciess cryingabouthowshe s~w

Ill:l1 frieu4;get shott My first thought was to get home as quickly as possible to call myMomsincerknew she wouldfind out aboutall this before I would, so I did just that. We did a U tum and beadedback to myhouse r live about I mile from the school and counted 35 police cars passing us as wedrove, Ambulances and policecars barging over medians motorcycle cops weaving through oppositetraffic almostkillingthemselves Its actually quite amazing that police unitscan dosuch widefishtails and keepcontrol. By the time I got home and called mymom to tell her I was okay, the.hought of what was happening hadn't quite sinked in yet

My mend called her mom and aunt and stuff. When she got off the phone, shetold me her brotherand cousinwere still in the school somewhere. Her brother later calledand saidhe gotout but hercousin wasstill inside

I ran into the family room and turned on the TV Every station was covering the situation at myschool. Several stanons had Ariel shots that amazed me. Of course the mediablurted outa bunchofcrap about the situation that they knew nothing of; and basically madestuff upas they wentalong. Inever knew how much the media is full of crap about things until they talk about stuffI knowaboutpersonally

I live on top of a huge hil! overlooking the entire Denver Metro Areaandcould seethe school in thedistance 1counted5 helicopters and :2 planes circling the premises. I couldalsosee Clement parkwhere rons of parents desperately searched to find their children The southwest side Is the partof theschool [ could vtew. The Library and Cafeteria are both on this side. Apparently this is where all theaction was taking place The entire southwest side of the school is a huge glass window Severalwindowswere shattered. This is basically all I could see from here.

The TV said that there were still 900 some odd students left in the school with thegunmen This isabout half the population of the student body While I watched and wondered for myselfwhatwashappening, [ knewin my heart who was responsible for this massacre. About a month ago mymends

and I went out to lunch After lunch we had the same World History classso we would talk together,We wouldoften pass these 1 kids who wore trench coats. Everyone referred to them .< 'he "Trench

Coat Matta" Mytnend (;aJereferred to them as t.~e "RarnmsremBoyz" Whatever you wanted tocall them, you couldtell they were different. Well, one day, Clae snarled a remarkabout Ramrnstein.nder his breath as we passedthese 2 guys. The short one who was named Eric Harrisconfrontedmyfriendabout it He said "Everyday you pass me and make fun ofme saying Rammstien sucks. Whydo you do this crapasshole? Whatdid I do to you?" My friend replied "Ohman yourso cool, you'remy idol!" Then Enc's friend Dylanapproached us seeming to back up his friend. I reallydidn't wantto get involved in a fight even though I knew these guys wouldn't stand a chance. I was afraidofthings they mightdo afterwards Erie was a short clean cut lookingkid and Dylan was a verytallskinnyguy with messed up hair He always wore the trench coat, a hat and dark sunglasses. The beIlrang and they left and we went into class. That was the end of the confrontation.

When I got my facts straightand figured out that 2 gunmen entered the school and killed severalpeople I knew, I figured the TrenchCoat Mafia was responsible. Manyhelplesscryingpeoplesaidthey recognizedthemas this group. I was shocked to understandthat my hunch was correct. Theyshowedthe pictures of Eric Harris and Dylanon TY Once I saw their pictures, I knewthey had nodemands or intentto leave Columbine High school alive.

This is the wayI think it happened. J have heard several stories from the media, friends, and others,but put this One together myself. .

Eric and Dylan didn't go to school on Tuesday April 20, 1999. They did attend bowling class early inthe morningtbough. Insteadthey entered the student parking lot at 11:00. Eric in hisblack prelude,and Dylan in his blackBMW325 that the media is trying to say makes him a rich, privileged kid It'sa crappy early 80s one and if you know what I mean about early Beemers, they do suck.They must.ave taken a few minutes to booby trap their cars and a few other cars as well. Oncethey were fully

suited up they openfire on kidsheading out in the parking lot that weregoing to lunch. Some sourcessay they had bodyarmorstrappedto themselves. They threw bombsoutside and oneeven blew up hiscar. After shooting outside theycharged into the Cafeteria where they must havesprayedbulletseverywhere. After shooting in the Cafeteria, they fan up the stairs, shot people in the Oh-so-familiar ­halls of ColumbineHigh School, then entered the Library, Of course, they threw bombs allover theplace inside as weU Nobody knows as of yet how long they were in the Library Scme kids go thereduring their lunchhour to study or get workdone, My guess is about 30 kids were in the libraryasusual that day. Theycharged into the Library, shot some people then stopped. I heard storiesof kidswhoescaped the library. Theysaid that the 2 gunmen told aU thejocks to stand up because "theyaredead:" the gunmen ~ISQ claimto hate minorities as well, I think that is bullshit. I Think they wantedto kill everyone theycould. I hearda story from one girl whosaid that one of them pulled outa knifeand said "1 have always wanted to kill someone with a knife" Then he put it away for some reason, Ihave a feeling it was Eric who said this I think they shot peoplehiding under tablesexecutionstyle.People say theywould laugh after they killed someone I guess when they figured they had enough"fun", they tooktheir own lives I don't know whether they were in the library for 5 minutes or 5hours After they shot themselves, a few survivors in the libraryran out.

I guess as the gunmen were entering the school, people could hear the gunshots and explosions Takemy word for it, my school is huge, so autonties didn't know where to go [guess Mr Sanderswasone of several teachers who was trying to guide students out of the school or at least to a secure areawithin He was unfortunately shot, but managed to stagger to a nearby Science room where one ofly friends cousinwas hiding. He walked in bloody and dying where he passed out, fell down and

broke hisJaw My friend's cousin tried to keep his air passageopen for some amount of time. Theysay he sat up but fell downagaina few times A few hours passed, and the SWAT team barged into

Across the hall from the science room,there was the Choir room, where60 students stayed for 3hours. Some moved ceilingriles to get fresh air in. A SWATteam eventually got themout as well

A guy namedNick,was somewhere in the school. He got into the ceiling and crawled to try to getout. The ceiling gave in andhe fell 20 ft. He was luckily toward the frontof the school, far oppositefrom where Eric and DyIanwere, so he was taken to safety.

I rememberseeingone studentat a window Obviously shot several times. It appeared that he wastrying to jump out the 2nd story librarywindowand end his pain. It wasthe most disturbingandmovingsight I haveever witnessed in my life. What the incrediblyignorantnews crew cameramenweren't seeingwasa fire truck just below the window that the boy was aimingfor. SWAT membersgrabbed himandcarriedhim off to safety, As he was taken from the window, his blooddrenchedsock touchedthe wall and smeared allover. I felt immense sadnessafter seeing this particular scene.The first version I saw wasthis kio tryingto jump and kill himself,I later saw a better angle thatshowedthe boy being pulledfrom the window. I guess the retard newscrew cut off the scene rightbefore the hands of the SWAT members came into view. I learned later that Hisname is Patrick, akid I have known since 2nd grade. He once made fun of my for buying Rebok Pumps in 3rd gradebecause theywere 5 sizes toobig.)

During the entiresiege, SWAT teams entered the school at various placesand rushed to get myclassmates out For all theyknew, they were rushing into the school with guns drawn and the killerscould be anywhere But, I knew that these 2 gunmen weren't sillykids influenced by games, and tv.They were trained and had planned out this entire day. Brooks, a studentI had a choir class withexplained howhe knew people involved in this "Trench Coat Mafia" At the time he spoke to meabout them, it hadnothing todo with anything. It was just a randomconversation that took placeseveral months ago. He told news crews that every time somebody messedwith them Dr teased them,they would go home and planthis thing out. It wasn't something they did after a goodday at schoolaccordingto Brooks, who hadno part in it.

About a year ago, I worked at a movie theatre with one of the Trench CoatMafia kids I wont list hisname sinceI don't think he hadanythingto do with this. He wouldconstantly complain about richjocks and otherstuff that is common to hear I figured to myself"just an angrykid venting somea.'1ger" Then one night he came into work and told me he had been chased in hiscar by so and so.Well, turns outso and SO were athletes from my school who don't seem to have anything betterdo tothan torment this dude

I can see why the fellow I worked with hated Columbine High School. I Can safely say that I don'tthink he took pan in the Terror that was created a few days ago I don't think he was a corrupt kideither. I thinkthatEric andDylan were the only ones involvedthat I knewabout Although nowpolice are saying they found 30 explosive devices in backpacks, underbodies,and Inside lockers, 50

they probably were not in it alone These devices had been planted beforethe gunmen entered theschool

If other members of this "Trench Coat Mafia" were treated like my pastco-worker, then this is theironly "motive" for doing what they did a few days ago. They were 2 outcastkidsthat were constantlymade fun of, and they finally snapped. What they were thinkingbefore they performed this horror

WIll neveroe concervanre to anyone, rt rum notrung to 0" witnuoom or ~ual(e, t v or movies, It IS ":Jlr Jlf~all pain inside their heads thatthey couldn't deal with, Someblameparents, other students, the NRA, JI\or whatever No! They weren't man enough to deal with their misfortunes, so theytook the easywayout.

Duringthe disasterat my school The names ofthe dead where withheldfor various reasons, Havingan idea who was in that library was the worst feeling I haveever hadto deal with, A friend told methat Patrickhad been shot He was alive and taken to the hospital. Anotherperson told me thatRachel Scott was dead, I remember Rachel being a very warm, caring, a funny person. She was anactor, a smger, and had a longfuture ahead of her, It was all brought to a halt rrememberwhen wewere sophmcres whenwe hadto disect these baby pig festus's. She Was really scaredand shakingwhen they put the pig down in the disection tray, So r tied2 stings to the pigsarms and made itdance aroundand sing songs, Shethought it Was really funnyand soon startedcuttingthis poor deadpig apart in at! kinds of strange ways. She was also a very talentedsinger, She was an alto in mychoir class whenwe were sophmores. I heard thar the gunmen didnt actuallygo throughthe front ofthe cafateria, but insteadwalked around and up the stairswhere the mediashowed footage of all thekinds running out of the school. [ believe that the gunmenenteredthe upperdoors whereRachel anda boy nameRichardwere Richard was quicklygunned down, but didn'tdie, Richard says that heheard the gunmen ask Rachel if she believed in god, she said "yes" and theysoon ended her life,Rachel was a victim of a pair of outcasts pouring out their poison on innocent lives, I now knowthatif Rachel can perish,anyone can perish and there is nothingwe can do about it.

[ foundtremendous tormentwhenI rememberedthat a girl namedCassie was in the libraryat thistime for sure, I was absolutely sure she was in the librarywhenthe gunmen entered"

When I wasa sophomore, [ noticed a new girl in class, Apparently her name was Cassie and she wasvery prettyand quite, At the time I didn't take much nonce to her since myattentionwas usuallydrawn to Ms. Haggard who always caught me mouthing off or doing something I shouldn't have beendoing.Then we were givenan assignmentwhereyou had to picka partner and writeabout somethingI cannot remember I was absentwhen we chose partners, so I wrote about how I lovedsnowboarding, Each groupof 2 had to standup and read their paper I read mineand as usual wasyelled at by1'1,,"5, Haggard for screwingaround and not writing about the correct topic, Then Cassiestood up and read her paperalonebecause she didn't have a partner Itwas about howshe was newin Columbine HighSchooland she tried to explain how unfairit was to have to do a partnerassignment when you don't knowanybody She read her paper with great confidence and didn't carewhat anyone thought After she sat down, some students grumbled and whispered negativecomments Two of my friends even took pan in this sickening display, but not LThere wassomethingabout this girl that wrote this paper that caused me to stayquite. [ wanted to approach herand talk to her everyday of thatsemester after she read that paper, but I neverdid, I have never had aproblem goingup and talking to someone in my entire life until she camealong, Weeks past, thenmonths, then the semesterended,

Years past, and I still see Cassie In the hall periodically Then a few months agoA gir! i knewwho isfriends with Cassie told me I should talk to her because she said Cassie is reallynice and an over allcool person. r still had this fear of talking to her I didn't understand it. rcould probably go up to myprincipaland recite everybad word I knew,but [ couldn't evensay "Hi!" to this girl. Well,oneday,and I thinksomebody planned this, rwas after school in the photo room makingup work, whenshewalked in I figured "what the heck?" and went over and talked to her. I suppose she somehow knewthat r liked her She turned out to be one of, if not, the coolest person I have ever spokenwith. I could

I have terrible regrets dealingwithCassie in particular. I haveno ideaand wiJl probably never knowhow long she was held in that library until either Eric or Dylanpulledthe triggerwithouteventhinking twice. One survivorfrom the library told me that when the gunmen got to her and held a gunto her head, they askedher is she believed in god. She stood up quickly and screamed "YESIBELIEVE INJESUS'" and they killed her, She may have beenone of the hostages destined to die bythe hand of one of the gunmen. I felt truly horrible when her name and picture flashed on my screenon April 21st, 1999 I hoped beyondbelief that I would havebecome closefriendswith her beforethat day Now this is impossible. I cannot explain, I was uncontrollably drawn to hersince she readthat essay One thingthat bothers me is the way that people think more highlyof her because she wasa dedicatedChristian. You see,various people who knewCassie madereference of how she used tobe into witchcraftand "into the dark side of things" whateverthat means. Do youknow what thismeans in reality? Thismeans that if Cassie had not been religious, these same people wouldfeel lesspain when she died. I am sorry if'you do not agree with me on this I thoughtthe worldofCassie,religious or not. I never knewCassie as wen as I would have liked. I am not a memberof her churchgroup, I knownobody in her family, but I do know one thing that many have overlooked. I knowthatCassie neverjudged a personbywhat they were, she judged them according to who they were. Thegirl who died for her faith will be remembered50 by many, but I will remember Cassieas a personthat befriendedpeople for who they are, not what they are or what theybelivein. I am a true exampleJf this. She didn't thinkany lessofme when I told her I was not religious. If anyone who reads thisknew Cassie and thinks lessofme for what I have just said, she was different from you, and you willnever understand.

Isaiah was a senior who I neverknew at all. He seemed to be a cool guy He wasblack and anathlete, so if he was in that library, there Is no doubt that the gunmen would targethim. He probablywould have had a long life to live. His dad kept his composure while talking aboutIsaiah on the TVHard to imagine.

Mark IS a boy that I have known since Kindergarten. He has a twinbrothernamed Mike Mark wasborn with a defect in his leg and arm. He couldn't run at all, but he couldwalk, and he could only useone of his hands We was in that library and was shot 2 times in the head and 2 times in the neck. Hesomehow survived, 1can only imagine that he win be even moredisabled the rest of his life. Thissickens me He satin frontof me in choir the day he was shot,but by the timehigh school camearound, I was no longer friends with him, I remember how he had dreams of beinga racecar driverwhen he grew up 1wonder if he still had this hope when he was in that library

There were countless other victimsboth injured and killedby Eric andDylan 2 days ago I am thesort of personwhostrives to be in control. Total control is my life goal. Watching the TV that dayseeing what the Gunmen hadbeen doing, I felt helpless. It is the first time in myadult life that 1haveever feit that there was nothing I could do My dad was specifically worried that I would have been In

school that dayand probably tried something stupid to stop/kill The gunmen. I would have to agreewith him on this one r look back at the time Eric and Dylan approached me and my friends, and rwish 1would have had someway of knowingthat they woulddo something like this. I probablywould have taken personal acuon to make sure it didn't happen.

Lookingback at thatday, where the soundof trumpets played Hells song, I thinkabouthowhappy Iam that so manyof my friends and class mates still live to this day. r had a dreamof me being in thelibrary, I thought to myself"My god, Im going to die withouta chance!" then oneof the gunmenplaced the gun at myforehead "This is my chance!"and I grabbed the gun like I was trained so manyyears ago, and thenI awoke, Did i suceed in stopping him and suprising the othergunmen who wasnot looking? Ordid I perish? I keepthinkingabout how this couldhavebeen a possibility, but I amtruelyglad it wasnot. r havenotsaid a word dealing with the political garbage that is beingspewedabout by so manyheartless careerboosting individuals, I knowthe true answerto so manyquestionsthat orbit this tragedy. Throughout history people report individuals who arecrazy and sociallyunstable, Many murders come to mind. Eric Harris and DylanKlebold were two completely unstablemental caseswho werebound to act as they did from the start So goahead, blamethe guns, the lackof metal detectors, the parents, the video games, the other students, the lackofreligion in schools, orwhateveryour fancy Whatever makesyou feel better. I implore you, take it from me.Laws are madelogically to protect people, butwhat happens when peoplewhoare not logical exist in our world?

Not actuallywhat happened ! will only placebits and pieces of what I knowon this site

I woke up at 6' 10a.m on April 20, 1999 [had a fairly bad cold and a soar throat. I didn't feel likegoing to schoolbut since my friend was picking me up I didn't wantto makeher drive for nothing.She arrivedat my house and we proceeded to goto school at Columbine SeniorHigh. SinceApril20is 4'20, it was a day that manystudentswere supposed to love and enjoyfor various reasons, Heh,Variouspeople told me "Happy ~ 20 Zach!" and "its4 20 and rhavean important date with youknow who." The day seemed prettynormal. I think[ faired well on my math test and we watchedCyranoDe Bergerac in World Studies After math [rushed to my lockerto meet a friend S<1 we could

well and wanted to take some Tylenol. At about 11:30 we headedbackfor school, We were headednorth on Pierce when suddenly we saw a policecruiser in the middle of the road beside a cargo vanand a little Mazda. I figured "oh well anotheraccident thatcould have been preventedand everyoneis overreacting," [had no idea how wrongI was. I told the persondrivingto head in the Woodmarneighborhood so we could get to school using my "stealth" route. We were tben passedby a bunchofkids in a WhiteCherokee who were honkingand waving their arms at us. I thought to myself"Crapthey wannaheat me up and we cant get away becausehercar is too slow"Then they honkedateveryone else so I felt a lot better. [then told her to try a differentwayto school. We headednorth onWadsworth then turned and wenton Bowleswhere we eventually got to piece the stteet my school isone. This is where I knew something was very wrong.

Piece was blocked off from this side of school as well. Aswe waited in a crowdedintersection ascops desperately tried to guide traffic, I saw a horde ofmyfellowstudentsrunningtowards us. Iyelled at a Girl I knew and asked her what happened. She said "Someguys in black charged intoschooland just shot everyone!'!" I saw hundreds ofparentswhosomehowfoundout about all this.They were runningevery which waytrying to find their sons and daughters. It was a terriblydisturbingsight. I remember specifically one little girl from mychoir class cryingabout how she sawher mend get shot. My first thought was to get home as quickly as possibleto call my Mom since Iknew she would find out about all this before I would, so I did just that. We did a U turn and headedback to my house. I live about! mile fromthe school and counted35 policecars passing us as wedrove. Ambulances and police cars bargingover medians motorcycle cops weavingthroughoppositetraffic almost killingthemselves Its actuallyquite amazing that police units can do such widefishtails and keep control. By the time I got homeand called my mom to tell her I was okay, thethoughtof what was happeninghadn't quite sinked in yet.

My friendcalled her mom and aunt and stuff Whenshe got off the phone, she told me her brotherand cousin werestill in the school somewhere. Her brotherlater calledand said he got out but hercousin was still inside.

I ran into the family room and turned on the TV. Everystationwas coveringthe situationat myschool. Several stations had Ariel shots that amazedme. Of course the media blurted out a bunch ofcrap about the situation that they knew nothingof, and basically madestuff upas they went along. Inever knew how much the media is full of crap about thingsuntil theytalk about stuff I know aboutpersonally

I live on top of a huge hill overlooking the entire DenverMetro Areaand could see the school in thedistance I counted5 helicoptersand 2 planescircling the premises. I couldalso see Clement parkwhere tons of parents desperately searched to find their children The southwest side is the part of theschool 1could view The Library and Cafeteriaare bothon this side.Apparently this is whereall theacnon was taking place The entire southwest side of the school is a hugeglasswindow Severalwindows were shattered.This is basicallyall I could see from here.

The TV said that there were still 900 some odd students left in the school with the gunmen. This isabout half the populationof the student body. While [ watched and wondered for myselfwhat washappening, I knew in my heart who was responsible for this massacre> Abouta month ago my friends

and I went out to lunch. After lunch we had the same WorldHistory class so we wouldtalk together.We wouldoften pass these 2 kids who WOre trench coats. Everyone referred to them as the "Trench

Coot Mana". My mend Cale reterred to them as the "Rammotem Boyz". Whatever you wanted tocall them, youcould tell they were different Well,one day,Clae snarled a remark aboutRammsteinunder his breath as we passed these 2 guys" The short one whowas named Eric Harris confrontedmymend about it. He said "Everyday you pass me and make fun ofme sayingRammstiensucks" Whydo you do this crap asshole? What did I do to you?" My mend replied "Oh man your so cool, you'remy idol!"Then Eric's friendDylan approachedus seeming to back up his mend" I reallydidn't wantto get involved in a fight even though I knew these guyswouldn't stand a chance. I was afraid ofthings they might do afterwards. Eric was a short clean cut lookingkid and Dylan was a verytallskinnyguywith messed up hair. He alwayswore the trenchcoat, a hat and dark sunglasses, The bellrang and they left and we went into class, That was the end of the confrontation,

When I got my facts straight and figuredout that 2 gunmenenteredthe school and killed severalpeople I knew,I figured the Trench Coat Mafia was responsible. Many helplesscrying people saidthey recognized them as this group, I was shockedto understand that my hunch was correct. Theyshowedthe picturesofEric Harris and Dylan on TV. Once I saw their pictures, I knew theyhad nodemandsor intent to leave Columbine Highschool alive,

This is the way I think it happened, I have heard several stories from the media, mends, and others,but put this onetogether myself..

Eric and Dylan didn't go to school on Tuesday April 20, 1999 They did attend bowlingclass early mthe morningthough. Instead they entered the student parkinglot at 11,00 Eric in his black prelude,and Dylan in his black BlvlW 325 that the media is tryingto say makes him a rich. privileged kid It'sa crappy early 80s one and if you know what 1mean about early Beemers, they do suck. Theymusthave taken a few minutes to boobytrap their cars and a fewothercars as well, Once they were fullysuitedup theyopen fire on kids heading out in tbe parkinglot that were goingto lunch. Some sourcessay they had body armor strappedto themselves, They threw bombsoutside and one even blew up hiscar, After shootingoutside they charged into the Cafeteriawhere they must have sprayedbulletseverywhere After shooting in the Cafeteria, they ran up the stairs, shot people in the Ob-so-farniliarhalls of Columbine High School, then enteredthe Library, Of course, they threw bombs allover theplace insideas well Nobodyknowsas of yet how longthey were in the Library Some kids go thereduringtheir lunch hour to studyor get workdone, My guess is about 30 kids were in the libraryasusual that day They charged into the Library, shot some people then stopped, I heard storiesofkidswhoescaped the library, They said that the 2 gunmentold all the jocks to stand up because "they arecead!" the gunmen also claim to hate minoritiesas well, [ think: that is bullshit, I Think: they wantedto kill everyone they could. [heard a storyfrom one girl who said that one of them pulled out a knifeand said "Ihave always wanted to kill someone with a knife" Then he put it away for some reason. Ihave a feeling it was Eric who said this, 1think they shot people hidingunder tables executionstyle.People say theywould laughafter they killedsomeone. I guesswhen theyfigured they had enough"fun", they tooktheir own lives, I don't know whetherthey were in the libraryfor 5 minutes or 5hours Afterthey shot themselves, a few survivors in the library tan OUI.

1guess as the gunmen wereentering the school, peoplecould hear the gunshots and explosions Takemy word for It, my school is huge, so autonties didn't knowwhereto go, 1guessMr Sanders wasone of several teachers who was trying to guidestudentsout ofthe school or at least to a secureareawithin, He was unfortunately shot, but managed to staggerto a nearbyScience room whereone ofmy friends cousin was hiding. He walked in bloody and dying wherehe passed out, fell downandbroke hisJaw My friend's cousin tried to keep his air passage open for some amount of time, Theysay he sat up but fell down again a few times A few hours passed, and the SWAT team barged Into

unable to be kept conscious. It was shortlyafter this time that I believe Mr. Sanders, my keyboardingteacher, died. He was also a girls Basketball coach and a businessteacher.

Across the hall from the science room, there was the Choir room, where 60 students stayedfor 3hours. Some movedceiling tiles to get fresh air in. A SWATteam eventually got them out as well.

A guy namedNick, was somewherein the school. He got into the ceiling and crawled to try to getout. The ceiling gave in and he feJl20 ft. He was luckilytoward the front of the school, furoppositefrom where Eric and Dylan were, so he was taken to safety.

r rememberseeing one student at a window Obviously shot several times. It appeared that he wastrying to jump out the 2nd story librarywindowand end his pain. It was the most disturbing andmovingsight I have ever witnessedin my life. What the incredibly ignorant news crew cameramenweren't seeing was a fire truckjust below the windowthat the boywas aiming for. SWAT membersgrabbedhim and carried him off to safety. As he was taken from the window, his blood drenchedsock touchedthe wall and smeared all over. I felt immensesadnessafter seeing this particularscene.The firstversion I saw was this kid trying to jump and kill himself,Tlater saw a better angle thatshowedthe boy being pulled from the window. I guess the retard news crew cut off the scene rightbefore the hands of the SWAT memberscame into view. I learnedlater that His name is Patrick, akid I have known since 2nd grade. He once made fun of my for buyingRebok Pumps in 3rd gradebecausethey were 5 sizes too big.)

Duringthe entire siege, SWATteams enteredthe schoolar various places and rushed to get myclassmatesout. For all they knew, they were rushinginto the school with guns drawn and the killerscould be anywhere. But,1knew that these 2 gunmen weren't silly kids influencedby games,and tv.They were trained and had plannedout this entire day Brooks,a student I had a choir class withexplained howhe knew people involvedin this "TrenchCoat Mafia". At the time he spoke to meabout them, it had nothingto do with anything. It was j ust a randomconversation that took placeseveral monthsago. He told news crews that every timesomebodymessed with them or teased them,they would go home and plan this thing out. It wasn't somethingthey did after a good day at schoolaccording to Brooks, who hadno part in it.

Abouta year ago, I worked at a movie theatre with one of the Trench Coat Mafia kids. Twont list hisname since I don't think he had anythingto do with this. He wouldconstantly complainabout richjocks and other stuff that is commcn to hear. I figured to myself 'just an angry kid ventingsomeanger" Then one night he came into work andtold me he had been chased In his car by so and so.Welt, turns out 50 and so were athletes from my schoolwho don't seem to have anythingbetter do tothan torment this dude.

I can see why the fellowI worked with hated Columbine High School. I Can safely say that I don'tthink he took part in the Terror that was createda few days ago. I don't think he was a corrupt kideither I think that Eric and Dylan were the only ones involved that I knew about. Although nowpoliceare saying they found30 explosivedevices in backpacks, WIder bodies, and inside lockers,sothey probably were not in it alone. These deviceshad been planted before the gunmenentered theschool.

If otber members of this "TrenchCoat Mafia"were treated like my past co-worker, then this is theironly "motive" for doing what they did a fewdays ago. They were 2 outcast kids that were constantlymade fun of, and they finally snapped. What they were thinkingbefore they performed this horror

all pain inside their heads that they couldn't deal with. Some blame parents, other students, the NRA,or whatever. Not They weren't man enough to deal with their misfortunes, so they took the easywayout.

During the disasterat my school The namesof the dead where withheld for various reasons. Havingan idea who was in that librarywas the worst feeling I have ever had to deal with. A mend told methat Patrickhad been shot. He was alive and takento the hospital. Anotherperson told me thatRachel Scott wasdead. I rememberRachel beinga verywarm,caring, a funny person. She wasanactor, a singer, and had a long futureaheadofher. It was all broughtto a halt. I rememberwhenwewere sophmores when we had to disect these babypig teams's. She was really scared and shakingwhenthey put the pig down in the disection tray, So I tied 2 stringsto the pigs arms and made itdance around and sing songs. She thought it was reallyfunnyand soon started cutting this poor deadpig apart in all kinds ofstrange ways. She was also a verytalented singer. She was an alto in mychoir class when we were sophmores, I heardthat the gunmendidnt actually go throughtbe front ofthe cafateria, but instead walkedaround and up the stairs wherethe media Showed footageofall thekinds runningout ofthe school. I believethat the gunmen entered the upperdoors whereRachelanda hoy nameRichard were. Richard was quickly gunned down,but didn't die. Richard saysthat heheard the gunmenask Rachel ifshe believedin god, she said "yes' and they soon ended her life.Rachel was a victim of a pair of outcastspouring out their poison on innocent lives [now knowthatifRachelcan perish. anyonecan perishand there is nothing' we can do about it.

I foundtremendoustorment when I remembered that a girl named Cassie was in the libraryat thistime for sure. [ was absolutely sure she was in tbe librarywhen the gunmen entered...

When I wasa sophomore, I noticeda new girl in class. Apparently her name was Cassie and she wasvery pretty and quite. At the time I didn't take muchnotice to her since my attentionwas usuallydrawnto Ms Haggard who always caughtme mouthing off or doing somethingI shouldn't have beendoing. Then we were given an assignment where you had to pick a partner and write about somethingI cannot remember. I was absent when we chosepartners, so I wrote about how I lovedsnowboarding, Each group of 2 had to stand up and read their paper. [ read mine and as usualwasyelledat by Ms. Haggard for screwingaround and not writingabout the correct topic Then Cassiestood up and read her paper alone becauseshe didn't have a partner. It was about how she was newin ColumbineHigh School and she tried to explainbow unfair it was to have to do a partnerassignment when you don't know anybody, She read her paperwith great confidence and didn't carewhat anyone thought. After she sat down,some studentsgrumbledand whisperednegativecomments. Two of myfriends even took part in this sickeningdisplay, but not 1. There wassomethingabout this girl that wrotethis paper that caused me to stay quite, I wanted to approach herand talk to her everyday of that semesterafter she read that paper, but I neverdid. I have neverhad aproblem goingup and talking to someone in my entire life until she came along. Weeks past, thenmonths, then the semesterended,

Yearspast, and I still see Cassie in the hall periodically, Then a few months ago A girl i knew who isfriends with Cassie told me I should talk to her becauseshe said Cassie is really nice and an over allcool person. I still had this fear oftalking to her I didn't understand it. I could probably go up to myprincipaland recite every bad wordI knew, but I couldn't even say "Hi!" to this girl. Well, one day,and I think somebody planned this, I wasafter school in the photo room making up work, when shewalked in. I figured "what the heck?" and wentover and talked to her. I suppose she somehowknewthat I liked her. She turned out to be one of, if not, the coolest person I have ever spokenwith, I could

time, she becamemore openand we talked more. Afterthis, I didn't reallyknow where to go. Iwould greet her in the ball for the last timea few minutesbeforeshe entered the libraryon April20th, 1999.

I have terrible regretsdealing withCassie in particular. I have no idea and will probablyneverknowhow long she was held in that library untileitherEric or Dylanpulledthe triggerwithouteventhinking twice. One survivor from the library told me thatwhen the gunmen got to her and held a gunto her head, they asked her is she believed in god. She stood upquicklyand screamed "YES IBELIEVE IN JESUS!"and they killed her. Shemay havebeenone ofthe hostages destinedto die bythe handof one of the gunmen. I felt trulyhorriblewhen her nameand picture flashedon my screenon April 21st, 1999. I hoped beyond belief that I wouldhave becomeclose friends with her beforethat day. Now this is impossible. I cannotexplain, I was uncontrollably drawn to her since she readthat essay. One thing that bothersme is the way that people think more highly ofher becauseshe wasa dedicatedChristian. You see,variouspeoplewho knewCassie madereferenceofhow she used tobe into witchcraftand "into the dark sideofthings" whatever that means. Do you know what thismeans in reality? This means that if Cassiehad not been religious, these same peoplewould feel lesspain when she died. ram sorry if you do not agree 'With me on this. I thoughtthe world of Cassie,religiousor not. 1never knewCassieas wellas 1wouldhaveliked.1am not a memberofher churchgroup, I know nobody in her family, but I do knowone thing that many have overlooked. I know thatCassienever judged a personbywhat they were, shejudgedthem according to who they were. Thegirl who died for her faith will be remembered so bymany, but1will rememberCassie as a personthat befriendedpeople for who they are, nOI what theyare or what they belive in. I am a true exampleof this She didn't think any lessofme whenI told her I was not religious. If anyone who readsthisknew Cassieand thinks less of me for what I havejust said, she was differentfrom you,and you willnever understand.

Isaiah was a senior who I neverknew at all. He seemed to be a cool guy. He was black and anathlete, so if he was in that library, there Is no doubt that the gunmen wouldtargethim. He probablywould have had a long lite to live. His dad kept his composure whiletalking about Isaiah on the TVHard to imagine.

Mark is a boy that I have known since Kindergarten. He has a rwinbrother namedMike. Markwasborn with a defect in his leg and arm. He couldn't run at all, but he could walk,and he couldonly useone of his hands. We was in that libraryand was shot 2 times in the head and 2 times in the neck. Hesomehowsurvived. I can only imagine that he wilt be even moredisabled the rest of'his life. Thissickens me. He sat In frontof me in choir the dayhe wasshot,but by the time high school camearound, I was no longer friends with him. I rememberhow he had dreams of being a racecardriverwhen he grew up. I wonder if he still had this hopewhenhe was in that library

There were countlessother victims both injured and killedby Eric and Dylan2 days ago. I am thesort of personwho stnves to be in control. Total controlis my life goal. Watching the TV that dayseeing what the Gunmen had been doing, I felt helpless. It is the first time in my adult life that I haveever felt that there was nothingI could do.My dad wasspecifically worried that I wouldhavebeen inschool that day and probablytried something stupidto stop/kill The gunmen. I wouldhave to agreewith him on this one. 1look backat the time Eric and Dylanapproached me and my friends, and Iwish I would have had someway of knowing that they woulddo something like this. I probablywould have taken personalaction to makesure it didn't happen.

Looking back at that day, where the sound of trumpets playedHells song, I think about howhappy Iam that so many of my friends and class males still live to this day, I hada dream ofme being in thelibrary. I thoughtto myself"My god, Im goingto die without a chance!" then one of the gunmenplacedthe gun at my forehead "This is mychance!" and I grabbed thegun like I was trainedso manyyears ago,and then I awoke, Did i suceed in stoppinghim and suprisingthe other gunmenwho wasnot looking" Or did I perish?I keep thinkingabout how this could have been a possibility, but I amtruely glad it was not. I have not said a worddealing with the politicalgarbage that is being spewedabout by so many heartlesscareer boosting individuals. I know the true answer to so manyquestionsthat orbit this tragedy. Throughouthistorypeople report individualswho are crazy and sociallyunstable. Many murders come to mind. Eric Harrisand Dylan Kleboldwere two completelyunstablementalcases who were bound to act as theydid from the start. Sogo ahead, blame the guns, the lackof metal detectors, the parents, the video games, theother students, the lack of religion in schools,orwhateveryour fancy. Whatever makesyou feelbetter. I imploreyou, take it from me. Laws are madelogicallyto protect people, but what happens whenpeople who are nor logical exist in our world?

You cannot run from it.

INVESTIGATION:

On August 12, 1999between the hours of 1030and 1040, I hadan opportunity to speak with Melanie King inreference to the Columbineincidentthat occurredon April 20, 1999. Melanietold me that she had left schoolprior tothe incident occurring. Melanie stated after she wasreleased from her fourthhour Foods class which was taught thatday by a substitute teacher, Mr. Sneddon, she walked downthe mainhallwayto the west exit, walked down the stairsjust outside the cafeteria. and proceeded out into the semorparkinglot. Melanietold me that she believed it wasbetween11:15 and II :20 a.rn. when she reachedher vehicle, which wasparked in the senior lot, space #4. Melaniestated she proceededto drive from the seniorparkinglot and as shewas passingthe junior parking lot, she recalledseeingDylan Klebold dressed in his black trenchcoat and he was walking from the parking lot in the directionof thehighschool. Melanie went home for lunchand it wasn't until she tried to return to the school, that she found out aboutthe shootingincident.

Melanie was asked if she was positive on identifying Dylan Kleboldas the individual she saw walking in theJuniorparking lot. Melanie stated there was no doubt in her mind that was Dylan, she knew Dylan from school. Melanietold me that she only knew him by first name, but again, there wasno doubt that was Dylan Klebold. Melaniewasasked if Dylan was WIth anyoneor if he was carryinganything whenshe saw him in the parking lot Melanie statedshe did not see anybodywith him and she only looked at himbrieflyand he didn't appear to be carryinganything. Atthis point, Melanie was asked if she ever heard any gunfire or sawanyonefiring any weapons while she was atColumbine High School, and she stated she did not.

OBSERVATION / INVESTIGATION:

On April 29th I was interviewing Columbine student Lacey Hohn. Durin~the interview Lacey said that a student Kari Klapp~r might have walked pastthe shooters just prior to the beginning of the shooting. I identifiedKari from the student roster, and made an appointment to interview on May6th at 0800 hours.

On May 6th at 0745 hours I arrived at 8946 West Prentice Avenue andconducted an inter,iew with Kari. Kari related that she is a junior atColumbine High School, and was at school on April 20th. She continued tosay that she had walked up the stairs that lead from the parking area tothe west main level entry along the outside of the school. Kari relatedthat when she reached the top of the stairs, at about 11:1SAM, she noticeDylan (KleboldJ standing near the entry to the building. She said thatRachel Scott and Richard Castaldo were also sitting on the side walk nearthe enterance having lunch. Kari said that they always have lunch there.She related that she spoke briefly to Rachel and Richard, and as shestarted to walk down the side walk to the "pit" she noticed that Dylan hadleft and a male subject she believed to be Eric Harris was standing there.

She advised that she was not entirely sure the subject was Harris. Sheadvised that he was wearing a white t-shirt, black pants with blacksuspenders and he was holding a gun at his side with both hands. Karisaid that she was not really sure what kind of gun it was. Kari relatedthat it did not register about the gun for a second. Kari stated that shehad walked about 10 feet when she heard a series of very rapid shots behindher and an explosion. She said she briefly turned and looked and saw

Harris shooting down the stairs in the direction of the parking lot. Kari

further advised that after hearing the shots and explosion and lookingtoward the source of the sound she observed a large cloud of grayishcolored smoke coming from the area of the parking lot. Kari said that shestarted running and ended up at the picnic area to the north-west of theschool. She waited there for a brief period of time when someone said"they're coming this way". At this time they jumped the fence intoClements Park and went to the parking lot where she got a ride with afriend, Evan Onis. Kari said that after leaving the lot the took a girlhome (she did nat know this persons name) and then went to Wills (a friendof Evan) house. There she called her parents.

Kari stated that just before the shots the only people at the top ofthe stairs was Harris, Rachel and Richard.

Kari stated that she was not in the cafeteria at all on the morningof April 20th. She reported that neither Harris or Klebold had a duffeltype bag when she encountered them just before the shooting. She alsoadvised that neither said anything to her just before the shooting. Kariadvised that she has spoken to Klebold before in school and he had jumpstarted her car once for her. She advised that Dylan seemed very normalduring her contact with him. She advised that she did not know Harris,She also said that she did not socialize with either or anyone in thegroup. Kari stated that her friend, KRISTA HANLEY, was closely associatedwith the Trench Coat Mafia.

Control Number 2772, Assigned 05-03-99, Kreutzer/watson.

On 05-11-999 I called the pager of the message on thepager was quite interesting. The message is that of machine gun fire, carssquealing their tires and people screaming. I took the time to meet JasonLallement in person due to the very nature on the message on his pager.

I met with Jason Lallemenc at his residence,7.5.2.S.wiii.•oititiaiwiailiPili.•••1.ttleton, co. Jason explained his relation to.

He played various computer games with Klebold fromtime to time. The games they played were similar to "Doom". They usedcomputer modems to play these games and this is why his number wa sin hispossession.

Josh added he had a class with Klebold and last talked to him theFriday prior to the incident. The class was creative writing. He knewHarris also, but didn't talk much to him. Harris was in the same creativewriting class, he sat behind him often. Josh stated he thought Klebald wasa nice guy.

I then talked to him about the message on his pager. He felt therewas nothing wrong, it is a beginning of a music album. He has had it ontheir for a long time and never gave it any thought. Josh's thought to itwas he sees nothing wrong with it and he has not done anything illegal. Icontinued to approach the message as this is of interest to us being theinvestigation involves shooting of persons.

I spoke to Josh briefly about his activity after high SChool. Heindicated he has no plans at this point. He will be graduating shortly.
