On the morning of April 20th 1999 at around 6 am Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold get ready to commit the biggest school shootings in American history. Eric goes out and buys propane o make the last of the bombs. They head off to school and place the propane bombs in the school cafeteria often called “the commons” and in their cars with Harris’s parked in the senior parking lot and Klebold’s in the Junior parking lot. The bombs were set to go off at 11:15 when the commons was most busy. When Harris was getting ready Brooks Brown walked up to Harris and asked him why he missed two test in which then Harris replied “It doesn’t matter anymore”. Harris was a star student and never missed any tests and he had two tests that day. Brown said he started to basically cuss Harris out and said it was a miracle that Harris didn’t shoot him instantly Harris said “Brooks, I like you now, Get out of here, go home.” Harris and Klebold both had a lot of history with Brooks, Klebold’s history wasn’t as bumpy as Harris’s. Klebold and Brown were friends for most of their lives. Harris had only come to know brown in High School, Judy Brown, Brooks’s mother, found Harris’s website where he wrote a death threat about Brooks Brown and many unnamed students and called the police on him. The police dropped the case before Harris got in any trouble, Brown decided to make peace with Harris which in turn most likely saved his life.
At approximately 11:19 they started shooting. Outside of the school they killed 17 Year old Rachel Scott at the same time they paralysed 17 year old Richard Castaldo. The other victim killed outside the school was 15 year old Daniel Rohrbough. They then moved into the school shooting kids in the hallway, they did not kill any students. Although in the hallway Harris shot Dave Sanders in the back, Sanders later bleed out to death. The deadliest part of the massacre took place in the library. The first person to get shot was Kyle Velasquez, due to his disabilities he could not register what was happening and get shelter as fast as the other student. The gunman took advantage of this and Klebold shot him as soon as they came in to the library. Cassie Bernall was another victim of the massacre. The gunman asked people if they believed in God, it is unknown if that truly affected the their outcome. Bernall was one of the people asked “do you believe in God” she was killed by Harris, he first asked the group of girls hiding under the table if they believed in God Bernall said yes (it is unknown what the other girls said) then a few minutes later Harris tapped the table two times then popped his head under the table and said “peek-a-boo” then shot with his sawed off shotgun killing Bernall and breaking his nose (sawed off shotguns are illegal because it makes them more concealable and they are much harder to control than normal shotguns.) Isaiah Shoels was one of the 12 victims to die in the library (including the perpetrators.) The Klebold found Shoels under a table and the two then started yelling racist remarks at Sholes. Harris wasn’t born racist, before moving to littleton he had many friends who are people of colour. Once all the bullying and mistreatment of Harris started having a hatred for everyone, he later found comfort in Hitler. He took decided to have the same kind of hatred as Hitler, this later rubbed off on Klebold who was Jewish. After tormenting Sholes they killed him. They killed 8 more students before taking their own lives.
