COLUMBINE: The Story of a Terrible American Tragedy

It was April 20, 1999, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold grasped the nation’s attention. Just the day before, the two boys were nothing more than the average American teenagers who were getting ready to graduate in only two weeks, or so they would have everyone believe.

For over a year, the two teenagers had been plotting to attack Columbine where they attended school, taking revenge on all of the people in it.

April 20, 1999, is a day that will forever be etched in the minds of those that were in school at the time, a day when innocence was lost and the world changed.

This is the story of the Columbine massacre, and the events leading up to this awful tragedy, one of the worst school shootings in history.
