And as the bombs exploded they planned to shoot down any moving survivors. They even carefully planned by planting propane bombs in the trunks of their cars to kill the media and first responders. Harris was described as cold, calculating and homicidal. Klebold was described hurting inside while Harris was a psychopath and wanting to hurt
