This was 20 years ago so she has probably passed away by now ):

Davrainbow Lmao that’s not true! Why do you assume she was an old lady?

@@michaelacaleb7919 Oh sorry. I thought he said she was old. She's probably in her 50s or 60s

Virtually everyone who lived across from the school opened their homes that day; there's video from someone bringing sheets and towels out [and literally the sheets from her bed] to help the wounded. A LOT of average citizens became heros that day.

My sister grandmother lasted till 100 yr old

I think he was also just in shock and wasn't even thinking straight.

I think it shows just how innocent that time was. He still didn't know the seriousness of what had just happened and no one had experienced anything like it. No one knew what a school shooting was, let alone what the protocol was for the rest of the school day. If that were someone's thought today, I would agree with you, but back then that seems pretty reasonable.

But at that point he knows there's a shooting there are police talking to him and everyone who was in the art building. What he said was to try to point out the innocence of the situation but he also highlighted a major issue which is that no one is doing anything to keep our kids safe and their biggest fear is missing class. There were two separate shootings at my highschool in less than two years time and we came back to school the next day and NO ONE SAID A WORD ABOUT THE STUDENT THAT GOT SHOT ABOUT THE SHOOTING OR ABOUT A PROTECTION PLAN THEY PRETENDED IT NEVER HAPPENED. I really didn't mean for this to be a rant but wow the American school system is pathetic.

Right real hero

I wonder where she is now

no (good) parent seeing a child/teen in distress could do any less. it's just instinct.

That’s very true, I barely ever answer my door, let alone trust any randoms with my phone or in my house

She deserves way more respect.

Monica Shmonica I think she is the reason I started crying because she did blame herself but I don’t think any kid that just witnessed that horror would be thinking straight at that very moment. Not even now with the drills they do, do I believe that my kids would think straight to call me right away, text me maybe because they do take their phones with them, it’s just something I have them do but they put them on silent just in case something like this happened I would start calling them. Sometimes being a parent is the biggest blessing and biggest curse all in one because you love your kids beyond life yourself but then to love another person that much, can be so damaging to not only you but that child also because you are afraid to let go and let them grow and see the world around them. I’m not one to hide anything from my kids but that’s mainly because we are a military family and know that tomorrow is not promised.

Monica Shmonica she was is shock so I’m sure her parents understood 😢

@@rue8438 ANd she's also beautiful 😍. You are lucky

I feel so much for the families and children of teachers who have passed protecting their students from shooters. They are true hero’s

Noel Sudano said that on their first day back to Columbine High School in the fall of 1999 that parents and teachers lined the sidewalk to shield the students from the media coverage as they made their way into the building.

That’s not survivors guilt that’s her realizing the severity of the situation after it happened

Nothing she said was anything like survivors guilt.

To you and the 2.2k people that liked this. That isn’t survivors guilt. She wasn’t apologizing to her parents because she felt guilty about surviving- she was apologizing because she didn’t realize the gravity of the situation and the effect it had on her parents and it sounds like (she was probably in shock) that she was dismissive (pretty common with teenagers) of the events and of her parents emotions that day... after becoming a teacher and having her own children she realized how hard it had all been for her parents and that’s why she apologized.

Maya how is it a hyperbole if you start the next sentence with “but honestly” and then you repeat the original comment. If I heard a book drop at school I wouldn’t panic. Loud noises happen jeez you guys are really being quit dramatic. If someone starts smoking a cigarette is your first instinct to stop drop and roll. The chances of a school shooting happening in your school is actually pretty low. I’m not saying you shouldn’t think about some sort of exit strategy just in case god forbid one did happen, but you shouldn’t be in fear for your life everyday. We are all far more likely to die in a car crash especially teenagers.

That's both smart and stupid, smart because as you said it wont let bullets travel that far, but stupid because if there is someone running from a shooter and there happens to be a 2nd shooter on the other side the kid will not know till it's to late due to not being able to see past the curve

yummyjackalmeat No, actually, that library is a new building close to the memorial wall built for the victims, but separate from the main building. Ironically, the school had just done a lot of renovation right before the shooting. But, since most of the deaths were in the library, afterwards, they removed the library and opened it up into an atrium.

Vintage Rose i didn’t know this, thank you

Regardless where the library is now it’s still a bit creepy

@@VintageRose75 Since the library was directly on top of the cafeteria and has since been removed, the cafeteria now has very tall ceilings.

These are the last days. The days right Jesus returns these violent things are happening more often. It is prophesied and it's happening. We need to turn to God.

There was a school shooting committed by a 15-year-old sophomore at a high school near my hometown in Michigan in November 2021, leaving 4 dead. It was very hard for me to fully process because I had friends who I went to school with that ended moving to or grew up in Oxford, Michigan, not to mention I had been to that area multiple times growing up. My condolences to your friends and families that were destroyed because of what Dylan and Eric did. That was absolutely not okay what those two guys did.

It really isn’t that common To be honest, when you go to British Columbia, and spend a week or more in Vancouver, You should expect to hear at least one story per week about gang violence or activities in Surrey. Sometimes even in more northern regions.

Henry Mudgett if kids are being taught in schools what to do in a shooting, it’s far too normal of an occurrence for me. There’s plenty of gang violence in Canada, I live in Ontario. Full of it, however that’s quite different than going to school and being taught what to do if there’s a shooter

hey, nova scotian here. i live about 15-20 minutes away from where the shooting happened and it is still messing me up to this day (i knew one person personally and another was on my bus). 22 people were killed i believe and i don't think i've ever felt this shaken up before, as i already had a fear of shootings (i have anxiety disorder :/) but the whole thing really messed me up. especially since the rmcp didn't release information until the morning after and they didn't send out an emergency alert. my mom and dad were driving while it was happening and when the rcmp released that he was on the run, i nearly had an anxiety attack and immediately called my parents. shootings are so fucked up.

Honestly I wish I was Canadian America is really unsafe

​@@bloob7671 another nova scotian here. i also live extremely close to where the shooting happened and i'm still messed up over how they didn't send out an emergency alert. for many years i've bussed and walked by the place that the shooter allegedly worked at countless times, obviously without a second thought, which is freaky to think about now. the rcmp by where i live also had a memorial up for the longest time for the officer that tragically lost her life during the shooting. she was the wife of one of my old high school teachers and i can't even begin to imagine what the families of the victims are going through. my heart goes out to those affected by shootings. the world is terrifying.

Exactly! No way i could work in the place where i know my friends and classmates were killed or almost died

Didn't they tear down and rebuild the school? Like Newtown?

There was a school shooting at my college. There were only two large classrooms in that specific building so they just closed it and made it staff only. Kinda annoyed me though. Felt like they were letting the shooter win or something by closing that building to students. Idk I’m sure that was the right decision though. They ended up moving my 2 classes to the library, which was a much worse learning environment for those specific courses.

My daughter was 3 weeks old when Columbine happened. 9/11 happened 6 weeks before my 2nd daughter was born. I wondered what mad world I had brought my children into! Of course they're adults now and it's so hard to give them advice bc they constantly point out that the world I grew up in is nothing like the world they grew up in.

They did heavy renovations after the shooting. The library was moved, different flooring and wall colors were used. It looks completely different from April 20th, 1999.

the memory will always be with the survivors but they have survived and shown their strength Bravo to them

Evan O'Dwyer She mentioned her age because teenagers are still not entirely mentally developed and it’s hard to understand many things at that age let alone something of such magnitude. Obviously teens are more keen to what a shooting in particular would be like nowadays but that is because it’s become more common.

I would have no idea what to do in such a case but luckily i don't have to know because i can feel safe in school in my country. Really sorry that you have had to accept it as something almost "normal", and that you actually need to have drills and stuff to prepare. No one should have to go through something like that :/

I graduated in 99 and this was a huge news event that really shocked everyone and nobody understood why these guys did it. This is when everyone became hyper aware. Now it is commonplace :(

@@sidniharrington1320 thank you for the update

@@sidniharrington1320 I've always wanted to ask this- when you started going to CHS, did it feel weird to know that the school you were attending was infamous worldwide for the event that had previously occurred there?

even then it's not an excuse. I've been bullied and wouldn't murder people.

Plus they were reports that they were actually the ones who yelled insults at random people for no reason

there was a study that came out in 2003, which proved that Eric was a psychopath and if he hadn’t been killed that day, he probably would have done something much worse in the future. and it said that Dylan was depressed and followed in Eric’s lead because it gave him a sense of purpose.

Now imagine being the parents of Eric and Dylan! 😳 Sue Klebold is the only one of the four who openly talks about it - and *very* actively so - but I've found her discussions/talks/presentations offer extremely helpful insight into the whole situation...to the point where I've actually found the nerve to be annoyed at the other three parents for not doing the same.

if only their kids hadn't bullied the Col kids...but let's not talk about parenting, let's blame ''muh guns'' instead.

Its not a good sign to see as common

The Columbine school shooting wasn’t the first shooting though… School shootings unfortunately always existed! One year prior in Arkansas there was already a school shooting where two teens shot 4 students and 1 teacher and wounded over 20 other people… The Columbine shooting is one of the most infamous ones because it appeared live on TV back then. Even outside of the US.

@@Kev27RS I came to say the same thing. I believe, though I may be wrong, that this shooting was one of the biggest in the U.S. in a long time, but it was not the first school shooting by any means. I was a junior or senior in high school and I remember watching the TV footage at school that day. Terrible and tragic...but some heroic people were there that day. Evil has always been around...but so has great and selfless good. I know whose side I want to be on!

It’s probably how their mind attempts to heal. Every school year that now goes by that is “normal” the scars become whiter. They chose to work there like many people choose to marry someone like a parent they had issues with in hopes of correcting the hurts from childhood once they have what seems like control in adulthood.

There is a very similar indie film called "Elephant". It's not based on the exact events and names where changed, but was inspired by Columbine and it's shooters. It's really good and came out a while back.

salma loera thank youu

Dafne Gonzalez I’ll check it out thankuuu

There’s one called “home room” not sure if it had anything to do with Columbine but a really good movie anyway.

Maryam Hussain you’re not thinking about the facts properly. What they heard was a fire alarm... that’s why they didn’t take it seriously!! The ones who did hear the gun shots ran for their lives, as one of them said. HS students today would react lazy to a fire alarm too, unless they heard the gunshots. I remember Columbine very well. Did you live through this time?

Joy Ling that’s true I was in high school in 2016 and even then when we would hear a fire alarm we would just be like “ohh not again” in a lazy manner we would just be annoyed that we would have to get up and go outside and other kids were excited because it meant no lesson time. Nobody ever thought there would actually be a fire or anything.

everyone in my school is too hesitant to leave the room when the fire alarm goes off unexpectedly and we don’t leave the room til the teacher says it’s okay. ever since parkland it’s just terrifying.

Joy Ling whenever a fire alarm goes off at my school my brain goes to instant panic “somethings on fire” “theres somebody in the building” even though it’s almost always a drill

At our school they always tell us when any drill is happening, so that we know what’s happening whenever an announcement or alarm happens.

EmilyLeann honestly!!

TRIGGERED! 🤧

dude me too i live pretty close to sandy hook and i was in second or third grade (im a freshman too) and i remember when all of a sudden we codes on every door with no explanation and no one was allowed to talk about it because some kids didnt know and being terrified for 3 months that i would die

So sorry that you have to fear like that i couldnt imagine how it would have to be to be afraid of being shot every day for years and having to go through drills. I live in germany and i remember how we always used to joke about if a school shooter ever came (which is so unlikely here that its more of a joke) they would just have to press the fire alarm but i NEVER EVER would have thought of this being an actual situation which students in america have to prepare for and that is just SO sad

at our school, if the fire alarm rings a teacher is supposed to open the door and make sure everything is ok before we go

thats a good thing, a lot of kids died that day BECAUSE they didnt have the knowledge or fear put into them of "what if" situations. youre lucky to be alive in an era that makes kids aware of the MANY dangers of this world.

me too. i live a hour away from parkland. so horrible. every shooting is so horrible.

@@trinitylivingston1286 I wouldn't either because I have anxiety issues. I'd be having night terrors.

Trinity Livingston not many would tbh, is why I admire them!

+Bantilicious +lovelyvegan princess I know many students in my grade who would've protected the teacher during one and I know many teachers who would've protected their students. My favorite teachers (their like a mother and father to me than my parents) still work at that school, I have only visited once. I remember walking in there and there being a door buzzer on the wall outside the inside of the building and there were around 3 police officers there and I'm pretty sure they had guns or something on them (I'm pretty sure that was either the end of last month or beginning of this one.) I just don't understand why most schools don't take threats seriously and than some other kid ends up dead. Infuriates me. I only heard one joke/whatever about a school shooting though, they were planning on shooting up the school and I thought "well this must be teenage humor, right?" Turns out I was right, they just had dark humor, but I didn't report it. I used to be scared of some of those people, but after last year, we're pals. Anyway, when I was a senior, my mom told my younger brother, sister, and I to be more aware of your surroundings. Like if you hear someone talking about suicide, shooting up the school, or anything else, report it. Also, any odd behavior in any of your classmates. Two teachers (my favorites) kept a closeish eye on me for awhile after I had a breakdown from having some undiagnosed mental illnesses, losing my grandma, bullying issues, and other things. It was great though because when half my classmates were picking on me, the other half and the teacher defended me. I'd say that I had some issues, just needed some counseling. Whenever I had a breakdown or any fit of rage towards anyone when they ticked me off, I'd never use a weapon even if I had a kitchen knife in my hand from clearing/setting the table or my pocket knife in my pocket (have to open packages somehow.) I just don't understand how you can get to that mentality, even with bullying and such or how someone would be able to do it, how someone could get so crazy. I was beat up and everything, but never thought of using one of my dad's guns to shoot up a school.

I second that!!!!

The second guy was actually my AP world history teacher last year (sorry for a random reply so late) Mr. Welsh...honestly changed my life. The best teacher i have ever had the pleasure of being in class with.

@@caylenalms4941 he seems like such a genuine guy despite what he went through!

I cannot imagine what it was like for them to go back. My school suffered from 14 shooting/bomb threats from feb to April, one which put us in lockdown for 4 hours. Nothing even close to Columbine, but it definitely made me realize I wanted to be a teacher so I can be there for students since things like this happen way too often.

A lot of times victims hold onto a part of their trauma as like a touchstone. They feel connected to the school even if its subconsciously. It's almost like Stockholm syndrome. I just know that's the case for some.

Andrew Cisneros how are they assholes?? The only assholes were the shooters! These 4 people were the victims of a horrific shooting.

Andrew Cisneros, check where you’re getting your information, they were not bullied at all and were in fact popular, they decided to ruin life’s not the victims

@@brooklyn2537 Check *your* facts. Im not trying to sympathize with the shooters, because they dont deserve it, they along with many students were severely bullied. Bullying was a huge problem in Columbine and it was rampant. I think you're sourcing Dave Cullen. Dave Cullen is the most inaccurate source of the tragedy. Neither dylan or eric were popular. At all. They were outcasts, like alot of their friends. I reccomend you read Brooks Brown's book about columbine. He was friends with both of the shooters as well as many of the victims. He knew what it was like to be a student there.

Ada Martin they obviously love talking about it and remembering it, otherwise they all wouldn’t have decided to become teachers and teach there. Dont get confused. These guys love the attention, they would be mini celebrities at there school.

why would anyone want to talk about a school shooting that they survived. they don't want to have to remember what happened but unfortunately they do. they probably wanted to go back and teach at the school because they want to be somewhere they know and even though something bad happened they tell their story to prevent it from happening again. They probably don't want the attention they get

Autumn Snoop if they were so traumatised by it they wouldn’t have decided to spend their whole lives working here 😂😂. And yes I do believe they like talking about it, it’s kinda the biggest thing to ever happen at the school and they were a part of it!! and everyone there knows this fact . Don’t be naive lol ........ they enjoy the attention it brings them and working at the school it happened in maximises this attention literally daily. All the students and other teachers would know who they are and they would get a certain amount of extra respect for this, especially from curious wide eyed students constantly asking them about it etc THEY BLOODY LOVE IT!! I bet they get treated like the high school equivalent of a war hero. They’re Sickos actually the more think about it lol

Scotty W This library they are in is a new, separate building, outside of the main buildings. They removed the original library after this happened, and turned it into an atrium.

Hi x! If you don't mind me asking out of curiosity, what is it like being a student there now? How aware are students about it now? Are any of the teachers that taught there that day still teaching? I can imagine it must feel like it looms over the school a bit. Was the school even open on the day of the anniversary? It must have been hard-hitting to be at the school around that time. We even learned about what happened in textbooks and had assemblies about it when I was in high school (I'm class of 2014) so I can't help but wonder how the subject is handled there? Best wishes for you and your community!! Y'all are definitely kept in all of our thoughts.

I live right across from it. Always stopped by when I go for a walk... As someone who went through a really bad bout of depression, good place to contemplate and recenter/refocus on how much of a blessing life is no matter how hard

I'm hoping to go see it this summer. A lot of people don't even know the location & it's literally a couple towns over

couldnt imagine, friends, maybe other bullies or kids you did not get along with, ex gfs, crushes

Couldn’t imagine what they’ve all been through after that ! 🙏🏾🥺

Not trying to be rude but if you were in that situation you'd might not know what's happening

@@joshuaharper8298 No I meant that sadly, times have changed. I don't blame them for not knowing what was going on. I just think it is sad that because I am younger than they are, I would've known what was happening. Because I had heard of more school shootings than they did at the same age.

No they haven't, im currently 18 and and trust me even me now im an idiot, the reason they look back on this is because they are older and realize they were young and dumb the older you get thr more ull realize how vulnerable u were

Very well said! I totally agree.

Well said.

Wait so he made a kill list and even went on the news but that was it? He only got a suspension? Wtf

I made a quote on quote kill list. It was just a list of kids who bullied me though. I had no intention of hurting anyone at any point in time. It was never a thought. It was just kids I didn’t like. Lol. I was suspended indefinitely following a psych evaluation. Which I passed and stuff. But just saying. Kids aren’t always as crazy as they seem. I also answered kids if they were on it or not. But there was only like 4 or 5 kids on it. They called all those kids down to the office and Called their parents and shit. It was wild. I understand why now as I’m older. This was in 6th grade. But yeah.

One time I was in a lockdown drill and this one kid told me that I was going to die, and then another kid made a ruler look like a gun and pretended to shoot me. Neither of them got in trouble.

@@kadeehusfelt9454 Uh yeah that’s not fucking normal behavior. You’re insane.

i was de same way i was in elementary school after hearing bout Columbine in a high school presentation at my brothers high school it made me scared to go to high school but after graduating said high school im glad these teachers/former CHS students survived de terror of '99

Your comment made me cry. Kids shouldnt have to be afraid of getting shot at school! I'm so ashamed of this country.

School is not the only place this happens college work every were.

School shootings are still rare. More high school kids are dying in car accidents than in school shootings. The school shooter just has the boogieman-esque aspect to it, so it so it occupies a larger space in the mind, sells more advertisements and gets more watch time. In reality our time would be better served improving driver safety and instruction, and of course improving healthcare and child poverty.

I graduated in 2016. Do they do gun drills at schools now?

@@lelrica6883 our school specifically doesn't do the whole spiel with the guy running around with a fake gun, but we do have drills where we push our desks up to the doors and make all these safety precautions.

@Sorrious Sad it sadly does happen now adays kids are terrified of being cought up in one.

@Sky Landry ya because the media instills fear in people

I don't care about running or loud noises. You should try being in my school for a day, there'll be like 10 'school shootings'

@@Moo-2310 ok then this comment wasn’t for you

Sometimes our school would have balloon decorations. One day a few of them popped and we all kind of just bolted out the next exit and refused to enter the buliding til the principal had come out and told us that it was just kids popping balloons

Ok

Before Columbine there was an instance in Arkansas where two elementary kids pulled the fire alarm and hid in the woods near the school. As the students lined up on the playground the began shooting at them. As a teacher, this crosses my mind every time we have a fire drill.

Stephanie Gremillion oh my goodness. My teacher has a metal baseball bat and a hammer in her closet near the door if that ever happens and the person comes to our room....I know you will keep your students safe ❤️❤️❤️

If it was a real firearm attack, it’s just better to be off property entirely.

Emilee Shuffield it’s the haunted look. They are remembering what happened as they speak.

Colorado. Suburban rich kids.

@@bigmonk802 What does that have to do with anything

Brown eyes are better

@@XoXoG never. Nothing will ever be Better than light eyes. Brown eyes are the majority and generic. Which makes light eye a rarity like gem stones.

Sandra Wehrley he does have gorgeous eyes!

Boop Bop let me guess you have brown eyes???

I wish I had his (or the other 3) eyes 😑

This is how the bullying starts by people thinking they have Better complexion than others . Stupid people

I have one purple eye. I don't have heterochromia though. Eye damage caused some blood to dye my blue eye purple.

But they look ugly

@@yappycircus Have a great day :)

Game OveR are you okay?

they are not ugly. just the stress from those memories

It is what it is they were bound to experience that darn shooting i meannn they're own kind always be shooting schools soo... anywayss

I was 12 when it happened and it feels like a fresh wound every anniversary!!! It was one of the major tragedy for our generation... I have two kids, one in school and it terrifies me as well!

@@hollywoodamanda absolutely!

this is why I'd rather homeschool my future kids

this is why we need gun control
