COLUMBINE MASSACRE
Dylan and Eric headed down to the cafeteria at 11:44 AM. Eric stopped on the stairs and knelt down to fire several shots with his carbine at a Duffel bag containing one of the 20-lb propane bombs. It didn't work. Dylan walked over to the same bomb after Eric's failed attempts to detonate it and tampered with something on the floor but again nothing happened. A witness hiding in the cafeteria heard one of the gunmen say: "Today the world's going to come to an end. Today's the day we die."
The Columbine High School rampage, also known as the Littleton School Massacre, occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine. In the rampage, two high school students shot and killed twelve students between the ages of 14 and 18, a teacher and themselves within less than an hour. Another 24 people were injured, some seriously. Many of the survivors still reported suffering from the aftermath of the event.
This release is supposed to show what influence the social environment can have on somebody with an mental illness and how dangerous the gun laws are in the USA. Pent-up hatred for the whole world and the will for fame and revenge led in this case to an act that is still incomprehensible to this day.
