That's not Columbine. That was Jonesboro IIRC.

Either way, Columbine helped people realize that the bullying that goes on is really uncalled for and can cause people to snap. I'm not justifying what they have done, but for a while some good did come of it. Cho was bullied as well but killed people he didn't even know.

Ooops, Looks like you're right. I know the fire alarm went off at Columbine too but it looks like it wasn't the shooters who did it, it was the fire.

Don't know if anyone's seen this or not.

I'm more likely to believe the interviews of the students and faculty in the days and weeks after the event than a story written ten years later.

Also, I have a friend who knew one of the boys, what they have to say does not corroborate what is portrayed in the story.
