Prevent School Violence
At 11:21 a.m. Mountain Time on April 20, 1999, the Jefferson County Communications Center of the Sheriff's Office received a total of five calls from local residents living near Columbine High School, located within Jefferson County, Colorado. It is at this time, as reported by eye witnesses and the press, that at least two armed people entered the southeast Columbine High School parking lot. They reportedly threw a few devices that exploded in the parking lot, and shot at the school. A mass exodus of at least 1,500 students fled the school when the shooting began, while others hid in classrooms within the school for hours. The assailants stalked the halls early on in the shooting, blasting away innocent people. In upwards of thirty students were terrorized by the shooters in the large library of the school, with nearly a dozen killed in cold blood. "I heard maybe 50, 60 shots in the library and they chucked four to five pipe bombs in the room," said student Evan Todd. Fourteen students, including the shooters themselves, and one teacher, died during the attack; a total of 15 deaths. About 23 students and faculty were seriously injured.(Luzadder, Dan; Vaughan, Kevin) Could this have been avioded?
