who doesn't know them?
they are legends.
I was watching Youtube about
Top 10 Infamous Mass Shooting in the U.S
I suddenly in love with these two guys.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold
They both best friend since junior high. They made a history at Columbine High School in April 20th 1999.
On the morning of Tuesday, April 20, 1999, Harris and Klebold placed a small fire bomb in a field about three miles south of Columbine High School, and two miles south of the fire station. Set to explode the bomb was intended as a diversion to draw firefighters and emergency personnel away from the school (it partially detonated and caused a small fire, which was quickly extinguished by the fire department).
After they planted bombs in the cafeteria, they waited out the school hoping people run out and they will shoot people and kill many.
But the bombs failed to explode.
Harris and Klebold convened and walked toward the school. Both armed, they climbed to the top of the outdoor West Entrance steps, placing them on a level with the athletic fields west of the building and the library inside the West Entrance, directly above the cafeteria.
Their first shooting was Rachel Scott and Richard Castaldo. After the first two shootings, Harris removed his trench coat and aimed his 9 mm carbine down the West Staircase toward three youths: 15-year-olds Daniel Rohrbough and Sean Graves and 16-year-old Lance Kirklin. The three friends had been ascending the staircase directly below the shooters. Kirklin later reported seeing Klebold and Harris standing at the top of the staircase, before the pair opening fire. All three youths were shot and wounded inside the school. Some students believe that's just a senior prank.
Dave Sanders (The popular coach, and also the teacher said it's not a prank).
Harris and Klebold killed 12 students and 1 teacher.They injured 21 additional people, with three others injured while attempting to escape the school. They attacked cafeteria and library a lot.
Harris and Klebold entered the library, where a total of 52 students, two teachers and two librarians had concealed themselves.
Harris yelled, "Get up!" in a tone so loud that he can be heard on Patti Nielson's 9-1-1 recording.
Staff and students hiding in the library exterior rooms later said they also heard the gunmen say: "All jocks stand up! We'll get the guys in white hats!" (Wearing a white baseball cap at Columbine was a tradition among sports team members, typically jocks.) When no one stood up, Harris said, "Fine, I'll start shooting anyway!" He fired his shotgun twice at a desk.
After they finished the library, they back to the cafeteria, shooting at the bags filled with bombs and exploded the cafeteria. They reloaded their guns at the hallway, threw a small bomb and destroyed some lockers. They seemed directionless.
They back to the library and tried to kill the cops from the window. But no one got shot. (I thought they had a sniper at the roof, but why the sniper shot Harris or Klebold? Weird huh?).
32 minutes after they left the library, Patti Nielson, who had locked herself inside a break room with a student and library staff, overheard Harris and Klebold suddenly shout in unison, "One! Two! Three!" These words were followed by the sound of gunfire. Both had committed suicide: Harris by firing his shotgun through the roof of his mouth; Klebold by shooting himself in the left temple with his TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun.

- Until now, we never know why Harris and Klebold did that. Some people said They've been bullied by students at Columbine. They got anger and revenge! After this tragedy, some shooting school came up. They inspired by 1999's tragedy.
- So people, why don't we stop bullying?
