#Columbine #schoolshooting #abc7ny
Imagine hearing about a school shooting at your child's school, so you are really worried about your child, but they are revealed to be the shooter
i can’t imagine the dread yo.
I imagine being father of a kid and can't do anything in that moment :O
One of the parents actually feels so guilty about it that she will even tell people about what happened when she meets them. She doesn’t wanna leave people in the dark. She did a whole Ted talk about it.
This comment is the best birth control, thank youuu 😂
Right
The students who called in sick that day were lucky.
@@hutchisopinion7603 that isnt a joke
@@hutchisopinion7603 I don't think he's joking. They are legit lucky to be alive cause Eric and Dylan were out for blood that day
This was me w/Noblesville Middle School. Had a gnarly cold so I was out. luckily no one died. I struggle a lot with feeling guilt, I guess. Guilty that for some reason chance had given me slack while so many others weren’t given that. My friends texted each other in the group chat at exactly 10:06, trying to see if we were all alive. I ran out into the living room only to watch on the TV the people that I’d known since we were 6 running for their lives. It was an awful, awful day.
HA!
not an appropriate place for this
that "high school massacre" picture with the bullet rounds is so inappropriate. its almost like glorified
Please... what were they supposed to do have no over the shoulder graphics? I suggest you be news director for a day and see how you would be tasked to do the design of the story.
I agree it is very inappropriate.
Julianna I agree... really poor taste
i think they didn't know how to be sensative to these things back then. this just wasn't common
It really is. They need to be more sensitive.
This news anchor is legendary. He was right under the South Tower on 9/11 when it started coming down. He’s had to cover so much horror in America…how does he do it?
By being placed there, either that or coincidence

@@robertoromero4814 It feels like that sometimes but it’s not. Simply knowing breaks that.
9/11 is also Dylan's birthday
I'll never forget this day... I was 13. Now 36, in shock over elementary school shootings. Still unbelievable.
Pfft I was 6 I remember nothing.
I’m the same age as you and I’ll never forget it. It was unheard of at the time. I remember being scared to go to high school. Some girl made a hit list but luckily she was caught and removed from the school immediately. Now I have a child of my own and I’m terrified for him. Uvalde has shook me to my core.
I was 13 also. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news
@@christianmistian6849 it's just unbelievable. I hope your little one and all other kiddo's stay safe. We have to do better for them.
@@christianmistian6849 write the district that you want teachers armed, military at the school, or armed security. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do to prevent this as we’ve seen over the last several decades except be better prepared for when it does happen…
i was already so disgusted by these actions of the shooters but when i heard they laughed when they shot the people made me even more disgusted
I watched a documentary and it said that they also would tease people before they shot them and would pretend that they would spare someone to get their hopes up but then shoot them right after. Disgusting
Both of them were bullied heavily. Dylan was suicidal too.
@@idk-mk2pj doesn't excuse the murder of 15 people
@@bungersinyourarea exactly.

So sad this is still happening today in this country. RIP to all the victims that lost their lives that day and that the survivors have recovered witnessing this horrible event.
To this day, December 2021 💔
This shooting is sadly the reason why
Yes ❤️
Still to this day 🙏🏾🤦🏾♂️
Mental illness, bullying and harassment, people have to be more polite and care for each as a whole.
Why is there no videos on TH-cam of coverage from the massacre as it happened? Everything I can find is from after the fact not during.
DudeBro Chill I’m also looking for coverage as it happened. It’s frustrating
I've been looking for those videos too, it seems they were banned from youtube.
I found a video you might find interesting: Columbine High School shooting news coverage 1999 thats how it is on youtube is 6 hours long but contains very good material.
Rows iero thanks for the suggestion but using those terms doesn’t turn up a 6 hour video. Actually the first video that comes up is this one.
It has. I watched it years before but can't find it now. Sad.
they're blaming the internet and violent movies for real
Ikr. I've watched over 100 horror movies and planning a mass murder has never crossed my mind
@@ZuhairEDP No, most people do not wish to carry out mass shootings after watching horror or graphic action films. The movies are not the issue.
People want a pat, easy, neat answer because they don't want to actually change the system.
If this happened like 3 years ago they would blame it on Fortnite or call of duty for the violence
The Internet the violent movies violent animes are the reasons why voilence is increasing day by day
I think it was more than bullying.
It was
It absolutely was. The issue was 90% mental health, and the media pushed a romantic “love each other and shootings won’t happen~” thing because people liked it. The truth is, they were sociopaths that needed serious help and they already had friends.
Eric and Dylan were never bullied. Both boys were pretty popular and had a social life. Unfortunately both were mentally unstable, Eric was obsessed with human extinction and Dylan was suicidal. I recommend reading the book Columbine by Dave Cullen if you want to know more about these two murderers
I also wanted to add on that the media loved to use the "outcast kill jock" and the "trench coat mafia" story to justify Eric and Dylan's horrific acts. Both were definitely mentally unstable and unfortunately there had been many signs but of course no one payed attention.
They weren’t bullied, it’s all on the book called Columbine
Cachetes :p but they were considered outsiders. They didn’t have “girlfriends” or were on sports teams. They felt as tho they didn’t fit it. Some student survivors recalled them saying something to the effect of, “This is because you were bullying me.”
"a sick gun society"
here we are 23 years later, nothing's changed in this country..
First school shooting in American history took place in the early 1960s, we had guns and schools for 200+ years prior to that but go on continue blaming the object.
You missed the whole point, hence why these violent acts will continue. You can think banning guns will help til now kids are doing it with knives and baseball bats going out even worse than they were from guns…
Guns arent the problem
@@tsam3676 this dosnt happen in other places... its the guns
@@DannyCosmos shinzo abe just got killed and many countries do have the same issue. The real problem is that this country caters to the criminal
Down fall of the American school system...heartbreaking
The downfall started way way way before Columbine... and Columbine was NOT the first school shooting ever. The downfall started when we gave the education system away to the government and the liberals.
DudeBro Chill and what SHOULD the school system be like?
@@dudebrochill6583 No but it was one of America's biggest school shootings at the time, but now in 2020 there is a lot more that a similar. It's Bad.
@@dudebrochill6583 There was another school shooting that happened over 30 years before this at the University Of Texas where ex Marine Charles Whitman shot and killed 6 people from a observation deck before police took him down.
@@dudebrochill6583 you mean when Reagan started defunding education in the 80’s. Wait, you are the result.
I can never forget this. I was 17 and a junior in high school when this happened. I remember my heart breaking for what had happened to the students and staff whether deceased or living and also their families. Fast forward 20+ years later and this continues to happen very sad.
You were there? My God!!! How was it for you?
I wasn't. I was going to high school in NY.
Amazing they have done nothing in 20+ years to prevent this from happening.
@@vanillyssweet777 smh did you even read what she said. she said she was a junior when it happened
Oh damn
I’ve actually been to Columbine twice for some speech and debate competitions. Being born after the massacre, it never really struck me how much this tragedy shook the nation.
The first time I competed there though, my oldest sister and my brother in law were trembling as they dropped me off. They asked me multiple times if I even wanted to go inside. I confidently said “yeah! Why wouldn’t I?” without acknowledging how genuinely scared they were for my safety.
I stepped inside, and was guided to the cafeteria. That is when reality hit me. The footage I saw as a kid of students hiding under tables played over and over again in my head.
Once everyone had arrived, the faculty held a meeting telling us not to take pictures out of respect for the families of the victims. They urged us to never walk around by ourselves, and also to report any suspicious activity.
Fortunately nothing ever happened at those competitions, but the fear and anxiety I felt is something I’ll never forget.
I was around sixteen or eighteen and watched the news coverage the day it happened.
The advice not to walk alone at a competition fifteen or eighteen or however many years after the massacre that you came on the scene, sounds excessive.
@@spiralrose I feel like it maybe be due to concern of a chance of someone trying to recreate the tragedy? And history does repeat itself so it’s probably for the best.
Fear for your safety? This happened in 1999 and your acting like it happens weekly.
@@RazPerignonwell,
@@RazPerignon I thought the same thing lol kind of a self centered comment over something that happened 25 years ago 🙄
my heart goes to all the victims that day. dead or alive🙏❤️
Facts. Prayers to them and their families
2:36 is Brian Anderson. You can see the blood on his shirt from when he was shot at by Eric, just inside of the entrance doors, where pieces of the door/bullet/glass hit his chest. He was leaving the entrance at the same time Patti Nelson was going to confront the shooters for the ruckus they were causing with their "prop guns". Once both Patti and Brian realized the gravity of the situation, they fled to the library where Patti made her infamous 911 call "GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND STAY ON THE FLOOR!", the killers would then come into the library and proceed to slaughter 10 students (2 additional students outside, Rachel Scott and Daniel R. + one teacher, Dave Sanders) and then eventually themselves. RIP to all of the victims of this horrible day in history.
@ViNNYDICEnice That lady must have severe ptsd knowing that telling those kids to get under the desks was probably the worst thing she could have told them in that situation
One of the worst parts is that they succeeded in making their impact. Dozens more have died because of others influenced by these two. The damage they've done goes far, far beyond just this instance.
Their influence is scary. There will be more who are influenced by them. That’s what Eric and Dylan wanted.
True. How many copycat threats were made at schools after this?
@@mkl62 we had bomb threat hoaxes occur at our school shortly after. Fast forward 23 years later and I hear this year there was another call made to police about an active shooter...another hoax. Yet, just another shooting happened today in St. Louis. What these guys did was demonically influenced, but I dare not give them glory for what they did, I thank my God He still has power to save, redeem the losses beyond comprehension, and make good come out of all this (yes, even a heinous crime can have good stirred in human beings as well). Look at the principal at Columbine and see how far he's come in helping others.
nah one of the worst parts is bullying is succeeding, stop the bullying, no more violence
@@ExperiencedPlayer2468 people get bullied everyday all over the world and they don’t murder people. It’s not about bullying. It’s about mental illness.

When Dylan mother spoke that broke my heart why because she was a good mother it was not her fault. Also the victims too
If Dylan was never close to eric he wouldn’t had been involved in it, he could’ve been saved, but sadly his mother just didn’t know, there was no way she could’ve known, now I think Eric’s garage was the one with the bombs because he was crazy and was just angry, Dylan only did it for suicide, I wished she would’ve known but there was no way of knowing
@@Yo30000 The columbine shooting was Dylan's idea actually. He wrote his diary that if he will get a gun, he would "go to a killing spree against anyone I want." And this was over a year before columbine shooting.
And it was Dylan who said to Eric how cool it would be to shoot their school.
But Eric was dominant, yes. But I think Dylan really wanted to kill those people. They thought themselves as a God and they needed to show ppl who is superior now. They were both in on it.
@@Yo30000 very true, Dylan was suicidal. Eric was homocidal
How about you all stop simping for Dylan’s mommy and accept the fact that those two were degenerate pieces of filth? Everyone always says Eric was the only villain, oh but not sweet little Dylan. Susie had to go through the five stages of grief but she’s been stuck at stage one since this all happened. Sad.
Where in the video did she speak??
Man did they have it all wrong; even the smallest details. Eric and Dylan didn’t actually wear trench coats- they wore black dusters. The trench coat mafia wasn’t anything more than a group of nerds who liked dressing like they were in the Matrix. They weren’t violent, they weren’t goths, they didn’t wear makeup or nail polish- they just wore trench coats and shades to school. Eric and Dylan were not in the Trench coat mafia. Dylan was friends with one of them. That’s it. / Eric and Dylan didn’t have a hit list- they literally tried to kill as many people as possible with bombs that didn’t go off. When that failed, they resorted to shooting the place up and got bored 17 minutes into the attack. Killing up close in person is different than from a distance. They started roaming the building shooting at the walls and ignoring students who were still in the building and very much in the line of Fire. 90% of their plans failed including how they wanted to die. They wanted to die either blown up in their cars or in a shootout with police. The car bombs didn’t go off and the cops couldn’t hit them. So they shot themselves. They predicted that no one would understand their motives and that they would change things forever and they were right.
and i thought i knew alot about this
But seriously they were bored like if ur gonna kill people don’t stop because ur bored like u just killed people like come on
Some of the TCM were violent and mentally unstable, and Harris and Klebold were friendly with several of them.
@@SP-2317 Dylan was friends with roughly two of them and none were reported to have been violent at all. Unless there’s something in the Columbine report that I missed
How do you know all of this? Where can I find these details? I’m trying to learn more.
My wife & I went to the memorial behind the school last year. Such an eerie feeling surrounding the place. Such a quiet suburban school turned into chaos.

watching this after Uvelde, Texas May 2022
I was at little league football practice when I heard about this. Overheard some parents talking about it - I remember being shocked as to how it could happen at a school. My tiny mind was so confused.
Gridiron
23 years later and it’s still happening….
I was a kid when this happened, almost 9 years old. I have friends now in my 30s, who were a handful of years older than me who remember being ousted for wearing similar clothing but literally just being nerdy DND kids from the 90s. I remember being picked up early from school because of this. In early 2005, I was apart of a high-school shooting that wasn't even like Columbine because of the police being right up the street and having multiple officers because I went to a school in a iffy area. This is still something that stays with me to this day.
N.J. Burkett reporting on this was at 9/11 and at the foot of the south tower as it collapsed. An outstanding reporter.
2:37 he’s covered in blood… he must have seen so much… I feel so bad for all these kids. The devil is real … be careful
Amen
I'm 13 and I never knew about this and it makes me sad and emotional.
I was 11 when this happened I remember watching the tv coverage. This is (unfortunately) modern American history, they don’t show you this in school?

because they were never called or informed
I ask that too. I also wonder why they removed Rachel's body so quick and not Dan's?
2:38 that kid got blood splatter over him, wow he was lucky to make it
If I'm not wrong, that would be Brian Anderson. He was exiting school at the same time as teacher Patti Nielson (who was going out to see what is going on) and they were shot at through the glass door.
They ran to the library and he hid in storage room of the library.
Rest in peace to those who died during school shooting

@@despacito377 it’s obviously terrible, but i do think the parents could do something to maybe prevent it
1) They were not part of the trench coat mafia, Eric and Dylan just also wore trench coats due to their favorite movie.
2) Eric and Dylan were bullied. However, not more than others. Apparently bullying was rampant in Columbine in general.
3) The bullying, the toxic mindset that comes with being a teenager and both their mental illnesses were a explosive combination that led to this.
4) Do not see Dave Cullens book as the Bible on this. Sure, read it but take it with a grain of salt. He has completely dismissed some hard evidence and multiple people (such as friends of the shooters or some of the teachers) said that he misconstrued their testimonies.

those graphics used over and over by the news station depicting school paper with bullet holes in it seemed appropriate and respectful
I would’ve been terrified if I was in the library
As opposed to all those other people who would have been calm and just continued with their studies.
Good
Gotta love the bullet hole riddled notebook paper graphics. Keep it classy, WABC 👍
thank you for keeping the cause alive.
The more you blame things like video games, movies and internet, the more this is going to happen.
Address the actual problem, and then things will change.
A relative of mine survived the shootings, he goes by the name of Mark Kintgen. He was hiding in the library after his lunch break when the attack started, He was shot in the head & the shoulder. He said that he heard them laughing during the event, saying things like "Oh look at his brains!". It's incredibly lucky he survived. After watching this, I'm starting to get a grasp of how horrifying of an event this was. The sad part is that school shootings are only becoming more common...
So heart breaking
Its not just about talking to ur kids, it should be more about listening more to them
Remember being looked at more than usual afterwards...because I dressed in black & listened to Manson. The media should be held accountable for the abuse myself & others recieved in the wake of this crime.
These people have to have been be really, really disturbed. Isolation didn't help either.
Wild to think the surviving students are now 37 to 41 years old.
It makes me sad that this is still happening today !! 😭🥺💔
World Wide
It still will because most people won't take time to do anything to help the cycle will continue unfortunately
It’s crazy that the reporter at the high school was the same reporter that was Filming a news report when the south tower fell on 9/11
🙄🙄🙄
The fact that the same news anchor was under the South Tower during 9/11, now hes reporting about dead kids. How did he go through all this??
He’s being paid to go through that stuff.
I was a kid that barely came from school with my mom when Columbine happened, it was a terrifying moment and it was ongoing in the news. Its gotten worse over the years, Santa Fe and Uvalde being the biggest in my state, (Santa Fe being the closest to me). My husband and I panic every single time we hear a shooting or bomb threat since it happens in our son's school and district every few months. We're at the point of considering home school for our son to avoid any fears in the future for all three of us. Even our son gets terrified of going to school after the shooting and threats at school.
7:51 the Daily Mail headline "Why Dando's not so Blando any more"...this is an article about TV presenter Jill Dando. She was shot dead here in London just 6 days after Columbine happened & her murder is still unsolved. Just an interesting little detail.
The guys when arrived at the school
Remember no more bullying!!
I was 11 or 12. It was a long time ago, but that first female reporter looks like she walked out if 1977! I'm not *that* old!
There was quite a bit of 70's nostalgia going on during the 90's.
Man, NJ Burkett certainly covered many events from reporting Columbine to seeing the South Tower collapse in front of him. Great reporter.
To this day some schools dont have metal detectors, I say every school should have metal detectors because you never know what will come through the door.
actually no because it makes students self concious they should have like 1-2 armed officers thats it and there new tatics are not always used if columbine happened yesterday the bombs and shooting at cops would just be the same and the cops would wait outside
In memory of all at Columbine
25 years ago almost to the second. Still a defining moment in so many peoples lives.
It’s all part of their plans
Imagine being in sick
There's a lot of disrespectful children in schools, bullies etc. Those shooters were suicidal outcasts. Why would this happen and how can you prevent it? Learn to love one another and respect your peers.
I agree. My mom always told me to never bully people, you never know what they go through at home before they come to school. That’s why I was always very kind to the awkward or “wierd” kids. you don’t have to hangout or be best of friends. But atleast be kind when they are in your presence. and I encourage other students to do the same.
Even if they were suicidal outcasts, why shot kids? That’s just wrong, there’s never an excuse.
@@calgabrielzeroday you reap what you sow lmao
What about the racist motive? Don’t ignore that
@@lucky9293till no excuse to kill someone. These people had lives just like you and I that they didn’t get to live. They didn’t grow to become more mature and change their ways. You and I get that chance, and they didn’t.
The whole entire thing was shocking even back then but this set in motion all policies school systems follow now such as unfortunately Zero Tolerance which got a lot of people including me for doing small problems.
WOW! I had forgotten just how LAZY and IRRESPONSIBLE the reporting was about this whole incident. The truly pathetic maligning of groups and art that in actuality, had absolutely nothing to do with this tragedy is sickening to watch back.
Ur so right,
I remember it well. Movies, video games, Marilyn Manson... the mass brain dead media were looking to blame anyone but the awful parents, school and cops who allowed this to happen. They all knew a year before this crime that those two boys were unhinged and making threats of mass murder, and they all continue to lie about being aware of it. Students went to school officials to tell them their names were on a "hit list". Klebold's parents were told by other parents that he was a violent sicko making public threats of mass murder. The cops even got a warrant to search Harris' house and found a pipe b*mb. All of these people then lied about all of these facts after the crime, because none of them wanted to admit that their mass incompetence allowed this crime to happen.
...before we became numb. 😔
It’s only gotten worse
how isn’t there any news footage on youtube from that day?
"Some children died the other day. We fed machines and then we prayed. - MM
Idk what’s worse, the shooting itself, or the fact the news made a decorated sign to show “High school Massacre”
I was a sophomore when this happened n watching it during school! I couldn't imagine it happening with my school!
The fact that they could’ve just graduated and left that school forever instead of doing what they did. Like bro. It was around the corner.
25 years later still heartbreaking and sad😭😭
23 years ago that happened..wow I remember it like it was yesterday, I was in 6th grade. I remember being afraid someone would try and copy them and it would happen in our school. After this happened we got several bomb threats, kids would call them in so it would cancel school
22 years ago, today.
One thing i find very interesting towards the end of the video on one of the newspaper clips...
There is an article at the top of the page 'Dando's not so blando anymore'.
This is about Jill Dando, a British TV personality at the time... who was shot dead on 26th April (or 6 days after the Colimbine shooting). And i'm guessing, around 3 days after this news report.
our country has learned nothing
sadly
