Police Tatics
• Police followed the traditional tactic at Columbine: surround the building, set up a perimeter, contain the damage.
• Their goal is to stop the shooter at all costs; they are to walk past wounded victims, as the aim is to prevent the shooter from killing or wounding more.

Reasons
• First reason is that the pair of supposed "Trench Coat Mafia outcasts" were taking revenge against the bullies who had made school miserable for them.
• The second reason is that the massacre was inexplicable: We can never understand what drove them to such horrific violence.
