Everyone that is, except for two students: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

“I have bad news,” said Mr. Bannon. He continued and said, “Our president was shot and killed.” This is what Nancy’s high school teacher said in the middle of class on the day John F. Kennedy was killed. John F. Kennedy's assassination was traumatic around the whole country, if not the whole world. Nancy Zuber was willing to be interviewed on what she thought of the situation. At the time Nancy was a student in eleventh grade at reading high school in 1963. Nancy Zuber was sitting in her book…

Everyone's Clown Nightmares Are Coming to Life I came across an eerie video recently. The video was taken by a boy who was walking down a bike path with his friend. As the two friends approached a bridge, they spotted a figure at the other end of the bridge. When they got closer, they realized that the figure was a person dressed as a clown. What happened next sent chills down my spine. The clown started running towards the boys. They both turned to sprint the other way. The video ended there.…

Though this was not the first instance of school related violence, the careful planning, explanations given, and ultimate brutality of the event provoked many individuals to question whether or not it could have been prevented, and what…

Columbine shooting took place. I had seen the news and read articles on Columbine, but I had yet to see the security camera footages. Seeing these footages of children running for their life haunts me, it breaks my heart and it made me fearful. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were able to legally purchase a gun, at the age of 18, while still in high school. They were also able to purchase 900 rounds of ammo at a local Kmart. With that, they killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and affected…

A possible theme for the book “Columbine” is always pay attention and watch for signs. In the book there is many occasions where Eric and Dylan both showed signs of planning something violent. People knew about the pipe bombs, but no one said anything to the cops. Certain people also knew about them owning guns but again nobody said anything to the cops.
