Today marks 20 years since 12 students and one teacher went to Columbine High School and never returned.
Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, marched to the school in Colorado around lunch time on April 20, 1999, armed with guns, homemade bombs and knives.
Rachel, a devout Christian who was the subject and co-writer of several books, was bullied throughout her high school years for her faith.Castaldo, who was shot eight times and left permanently paralysed from his injuries, said Harris returned when he realised she was still alive and asked ‘do you still believe in God?’ as he lifted her head by the hair.
Kyle, described as a ‘big teddy bear’ was the first of 10 students who died during a hostage situation in the school’s library.Kyle suffered a stroke as a baby and his parents were prepared to spend the rest of their lives with him due to his disabilities. Cassie was studying in the library when the shooting started and tried to hide alongside another girl under a computer table.He bent down and shot Cassie in the side of the head. She died immediately.Aspiring comedian Isaiah Shoels was born with a heart defect, but managed to overcome his disability and went on to play American football and wrestle.He was studying in the library with friends Matt Kechter and Craig Scott when the shooters entered.
Harris shot John without looking who was under the table before Klebold went around and shot him point blank in the head.Kelly Fleming had transferred to Columbine a few months before the shooting She was writing poems as usual in the library when Harris and Klebold entered.
