Do y'all remember when it happened?
I remember how surreal it was when it happened and how it dominated the news for weeks afterwards.
Those Columbine articles/stories sure seem to have inspired a lot of the subsequent school shooters, according to the shooters' own statements and writings.
Earlier this week I read about a young woman who posted about her fixation with Columbine. I think she was 18. She had armed herself and traveled to another state, presumably to carry out a mass shooting. LE put out an APB in attempt to capture her before she could follow through and later found her dead of suicide after reports that she was running naked in the woods.
