This
website has a LOT of information about the Columbine High School shooting from the 4/20/1999, the information we can find on this website goes from a
resumé of what happened to
911 calls transcripts and
videos of the event. I think that the call transcripts and the videos are very interesting because when reading the transcripts for example , you can see the people's reactions to what was happening and you realise that some people don't always react the way we could think they would. This makes me think about how I would react if I were in such a situation and I think that in such a situation you really learn what kind of person someone is because in your daily life you can pretend to be someone you're not , for instance, in their daily lives some people act like thugs but maybe in a situation like this they would be in shock and cry. The videos are also something I find interesting because you can see how it really happened because in some movie like
Zero Day (2003) -which is a film that gives us a good idea of how things happen- still isn't the same as seeing the tapes from the event which are much more shocking.

The partially-detonated propane bomb in a duffel bag left behind by the shooters blackened the floor and set off the overhead sprinklers.
As this
website shows us the three main reasons for school shootings are :
-They want revenge on the people that hurt them.
-Other kids make fun of them , pick on them or bully them.
-They don't value life.
Out of the three main reasons , the two main ones are because people want to get revenge on bullies, so for all you bullies out there reading this,stop, now. It might make you feel good but it might also get you killed so if you don't do it to have a clean conscience , do it to save your life.
