On April 20th, 1999, two students from Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado embarked on a rampage killing 12 students, 1 teacher, and injuring an additional 24. The events of the Columbine High School Massacre changed the lives of many. Although you may not have been affected by this event, or even alive during it, please take time to remember this monumental tragedy.

Why do you believe this one shooting "rocked" America and changed America more than any of the other shootings? sebbers (not a dig just interested because these shootings still happen so maybe America hasn't really changed that much since then)
I had to do research on this for like 3 months a few years back for a huge school project/presentation.
From the UK, but I remember watching it on the news when I was younger and thinking it was a TV show because it was beyond belief that something like this could happen. ._.
Whilst not perfect, America learned a lot about school violence from this but it's still sad & I was gonna blog about it in a few hours when it hit the same time. Sad, R.I.P. :(
Was he a part of Rachel's Challenge? I remember a guy came to our school (not related to her but a part of the challenge) and told us that her and her brother were really close and rarely fought except for that last conversation they had, which was an arguement :(
