would just like to say that I really enjoyed this website! I learned a lot more
then I knew about the whole situation! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of
the family and friends who lost a loved one in this shooting! It was such a
tragic time!! I am a teen also at school and I feel something should be done
about this, I don’t know what...but something!!! Please keep me updated every
time there is something new. cutie_pie_069@teen.com *THANK-YOU* KODI Date: 12/21/2001

think that your page is GREAT! It means so much that you take your time to
recognize the lives that were both changed forever and lost. Even though I don't
have anything really to do with Columbine I appreciate this page a lot. I also
love the poem "The New School Prayer" I am currently doing a project
for school on that poem and the Columbine tragedy. Thank you very much! ~Britney~ Date: 1/17/2002

This web site provides extraordinary possibilities to learn about the problem of
school violence. I certainly will use as a basis for projects in my English
lessons and recommend it to my colleagues at school. Thank you very much. A

ERIC HARRIS IS MY HERO Date: 3/12/2002
Time: 7:39:43 PM Comments:
I really like your poem "Twelve young Angels and one guardian Angel" 15 people died that day, but
you only talked about the 13 that were murdered, what about the two killers? All they were was a product
of our schools, our expectations, our pop culture, our society. It seems today
more than ever people are becoming like ants, scurrying about their lives,
living the "American dream" to the best they can while nothing really
gets accomplished. The killers were different, they did something different,
something that changed the world forever and I will always have great respect
and admiration for them. Sure it wasn't a good thing, but it was a GREAT thing. P.S. All the Christian BS in
your site made me want to vomit. Date: 3/13/2002

What about Eric and Dylan? They died too. 13 angels? 13? Only 13? Date: 4/12/2002

Why does the URL say http://www.columbine-angels.com/other_shootings.htm
when most of the incidents lack any mention of guns? Are you sending a subliminal
message? Webmasters response: You
may want to recount the list. Going up to the first 1990 violent act in our
schools, there are 26 occurrences with guns, five with bombs, three with knives,
two with an unknown weapon and one hostage occurrence. The gun is the weapon of
choice for school violence. Date: 5/16/2002

Hi I am wanting to express our heartfelt thanks to each and everyone involved in
this terrible mess. It's time everyone get involved in these issues. Prayers and
love to all Date: 5/16/2002

I thank you for providing comprehensive information concerning Columbine. I am upset with our Colorado
legislators for choosing to cover up rather than disclose the truth --the full
truth. They are covering up for those who failed to do their job, as well as
those who later chose to lie rather than tell the truth. Columbine can now be added
to a long list of cover-ups. In this case, professional lawmakers covering for
professional educational administrators (at all levels), and professional law
enforcement personnel (all the way from the bottom to the top). It's too bad the full truth
will probably never be known. Everyone involved is scrambling to cover their
individual and collective butts from lawsuits and to preserve their careers (all
at the expense of the truth). Perhaps the Columbine cover
up is nothing more than another symptom of an immoral society in rapid decline.
The only ones really punished were those involved with helping obtain the
weapons. But what of all the persons responsible for the events that led to the
deadly decisions of Harris and Klebold? The school officials who chose to ignore
the bullying by the jocks? The law enforcement officials who chose to cover up
than expose what occurred subsequent to the van incident on January 30, 1998?
The doctor and pharmaceutical company? Jefferson county sheriff’s department?
The Jefferson County school officials? Yes, Harris and Klebold are guilty -- but
so are ALL those whose made a choice to "look the other way" -- rather
than to do what was right. Date: 5/17/2002

Hello my name is Brittany, and I just wanted to say how awesome this website is.
It lets others know about what happened and the outreach that can be
accomplished because of this. I have recently read the book Rachel's Tears, and
now I am doing a in depth book report on it for my English class ISU, it is 30%
of my final mark, and these sites will help me reach out to others who don’t
know about God!! My thoughts are with you guys!! Date: 5/5/2004 Time: 5:30:36 AM Comments: I feel bad for all of you who has died or got hurt and I love you all and this is also to the families
Comments: I am very sorry for the families of these people
Comments: I think it was sad to know that these two boys felt the way they did. In a way I feel bad for them cause its hard when you have people treating you like your nothing. But they had no right to take the lives of all those people.
Comments: WOW Alan...this is great! Brandon Date: 6/13/2004 Time: 1:49:27 PM Comments: Informative
Comments: Wonderful source of information. Thank you for keeping this site current. It is a great source.
Comments: Just doing some research on a school paper. You're research seems thorough, balanced and complete. I can't imagine the time you spent researching this. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Comments: Austin Miller - I just want to say I attend Murchsion in Austin and I disagree with your dates. It happened on May 29, 1980. I also have something else, he wasn't 29, he was 32.
Comments: If anyone knows more of Douglas Rentmore, I'd be very interested!
Comments: You have a very cool page, very informal over April 20. -M
Comments: This website is great. I had to write a report of school shootings over the past 8years, and your timeline for the Columbine tragedy really helped with my research. So, thanks for all your help. Keep it running. Renee
Comments: I am very impressed with your web-site! I am curious as to what led you to create this site - it is apparent that it takes up a great deal of time. The links, and in-depth information was of great assistance to me. Thank you! Officer H. Slone
Comments: I am sorry that this happen and having all those kids die and seeing the pictures and videos it scary and upsetting to me.
Comments: My prayers still go out to Columbine survivors and family. brianhalv@hotmail.com
Comments: Eric was nice to the poor, it'd be a fine accomplishment if a repeat happened at columbine, eh?
Comments: I think this is a good web site because I never new as much as I read today. Thanks for the information
Comments: I just saw the movie Dawn Anna and I was so touched and made very aware of the lives changed in a matter of moments.
Comments: I think that this is an awesome website and very inspirational. I watched the movie Dawn Anna tonight on Life Time and it made me start thinking about the school shootings and thinking how horrific this day was for the families of these victims, my heart and prayers goes out to these families and to the survivors of this horrible school shooting. This comes from a mother of a beautiful 7 year old little girl who is in the 2nd grade. I just couldn't imagine how these parents felt finding out that they sent their child to a place that is supposed to protect our children to have them not return home. I pray every day that my child leaves for school that she returns home to me she is the only child I have an the only child that God has blessed me with. With deepest sympathy someone who cares.... Crystal
Comments: I love your website since I have read all of the books that Rachel's family has written and turned my life around. I was not into God since I lost my Grandmother but reading Rachel's journal I found God and she will watch over me.
Comments: Beautiful website! A great tribute to the victims!
Comments: I really like this page
Comments: Very interesting, this shooting here in MN has made me interested in finding ways to prevent these things from happening. I have 3 children and live in a small town, to tell you the truth I feel like...no way can it happen to me, and I know that's untrue. Sorry for venting, I think your website is a great tool for helping identify problem areas maybe. Thank you for your time.
Comments: This website was very helpful in a report I am doing on school violence. Thank you!
Comments: Your website is awesome and to all the Columbine victims I really look up to for bouncing back and dealing with that head on. It's really great to be able to wake up and know that if something were to go wrong at school I could handle it. Thank you so much for the hope that you guys have gave to others. It shows the real spirit of American kids sticking together and being able to handle the shooting!
Comments: I am an 8th grader & I'm about to attend high school, what happened at Columbine scares me to death! I'm terrified to go to school & take the chance of being at the mercy of someone else's hands...I feel so badly for the families torn apart by these 2 boys. I loved your website. Sincerely, Casey Giesler
Comments: Great page.
Comments: This is a great web site! Thank you for remembering the ones that we lost. God bless, Jordan
Comments: Amanda R. Indiana This site is a great way to show how much the 13 people were loved by their school, and by their friends and family. May God bless you and their families on this day!
Comments: I am doing a book about the 1998 Kinkel shooting in Oregon (no other book has ever been written on it so far) and want to reference and give credit to your website. I cannot send you email via your link so please email to me or call me. Also check the reference to my book on my website. Best regards, Joseph A. Lieberman gone2oregon@yahoo.com or www.authorjoe.com
Comments: I am a high school guidance counselor and college adolescent psychology professor. One of the topics we cover is school violence. I found your website to be very informative. It is alarming to see the magnitude of school violence that has occurred over the years all written down in chronological order on one website. Since many of these incidents do not make the national news, it is sobering to see that these incidents are not isolated and in fact occur somewhere daily. This problem must be addressed.
Comments: Hi! I'm Sarah. I saw this on the MSN search and thought I'd check it out. I'm searching for stuff on Columbine, Rachel Scott and Cassie Bernall. Love in Christ, Sarah Preston
Comments: Thank you for your efforts. I will pray for Eric, Dylan, the victims, their families and the people of Jefferson County
Comments: I always love you Eric and Dylan, they were just two kids with a lot of anger the government should thank in when they said "I have a lot of anger and I will use it"
Comments: Hey thanks a lot for everything Comments: Thank you soooo much for this website and all that you do to keep the issue of school violence in the forefront of our thinking. In this way we educators, et al can continue to search for prevention/intervention strategies. God Bless you. Dr. Donna Dalton Opoku-Agyeman, Director, Child Welfare & Attendance, Lake Elsinore (California) Unified School District Comments: These days teachers and students are being pushed and damage. I think this is unbelievable Comments: Awesome! The 13 Angels will never be forgotten by me! Rachel and the others we all great people that the Lord took home that day. God Bless You All!!

it's the other way around. I was a high school teacher for 36 years, trust me,
too many people on power trips, they want to be in control. Date: 7/13/2005 Time: 10:22:21 AM Comments

But at least you know that they are in a better place and there finally home. It
is a hard thing to loose someone so dear to you. They are with you everyday of
your life and are watching you all the time. So don't ever think that they are
not there. Life is to short to waste it doing drugs and doing dumb stuff. As you
can see when you least expect it that could be the last day of your life or the
last time you get to see your friends and family. So don't take them for
granted. Cherish your life and those around you, because that could be the last
time you see them. Date: 11/25/2005 Time: 08:46:03 PM Comments

from Ruth Christie (rpchristie@hotmail.com): I find the use of your word "enjoy" on this website
very inappropriate. We must be aware of school violence and trends in violence
in schools but how one could "enjoy" knowing of such horrific
incidents and trends is beyond me. I suggest you remove that word and possibly
suggest people work towards knowing about these things only so they can work
together towards a peaceful world - one where students, school staff, teachers
and administrators are all safe from any kind of verbal or physical attack. Date: 2/8/2006 Time: 05:52:10 PM Comments

Sharon: I am so glad to see that other schools are being recognized for their
fatal shootings, besides Columbine (no disrespect to Columbine's loss). Whenever
there is a new shooting, Columbine is always the one that the news goes back to.
My kids went to school with the kids that got killed in the Lindhurst High
Shooting. I would just like to say that there are other ANGELS in this country
and for them to be recognized and respected as well as Columbine's ANGELS. Bless all the ANGELS from the past and BLESS all the ANGELS in the FUTURE

school shootings this past week. I printed out some of the pages from the
"Violence in our Schools" web site to show him there has been violence
at schools for many, many years (not a good thing, but it helps put the recent
shootings into perspective). Wanted to let you know of another killing at Alisal
High School in Salinas, CA. for your statistics. It happened on my first day of
high school, September 1977.
It was a knife fight, and one person died. Date: 10/3/2006 Time: 08:47:58 AM Comments

Date: 1/18/2007 Time: 5:02:01 PM Comments from Andre (no@spam.for.me): What I get a kick out of is Evan Todd's father's respect life license plate. I guess we all forgot what his Evan Todd said: "Columbine is a clean, good place except for those rejects. Most kids didn't want them there. They were into witchcraft. They were into voodoo dolls. Sure, we teased them. But what do you expect with kids who come to school with weird hairdos and horns on their hats? It's not just jocks; the whole school's disgusted with them. They're a bunch of homos, grabbing each other's private parts. If you want to get rid of someone, usually you tease them. So the whole school would call them homos, and when they did something sick, we'd tell them, 'You're sick and that's wrong.' " - Evan Todd (255 lb defensive lineman), TIME, DEC 20, 1999. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,992873-12,00.html I guess we kind of forgot that one while we went on to praise the shiny new "Respect Life" license plates. Talk about not being worth the paint never mind metal it is stamped onto. Date: 1/18/2007 Time: 5:10:00 PM Comments from Andre (no@spam.thanks): D. MacDonald, Kip Kinkel and Eric Harris both shared something in common. http://www.slate.com/id/2099203 [Eric] Harris' pattern of grandiosity, glibness, contempt, lack of empathy, and superiority read like the bullet points on Hare's Psychopath Checklist and convinced Fuselier and the other leading psychiatrists close to the case that [Eric] Harris was a psychopath. Kip wasn't the only person who lacked treatment. But then again, even that article on the columbine massacre says, that Eric Harris if he hasn't done what he did would have ended up becoming a bigger menace in society. More than likely a serial killer. Dave Cullen the author of the Article is coming out with a book about this sometime later this year. I don't agree with all his assessments but he did have some good points Date: 1/26/2007 Time: 11:35:58 PM Comments from Ski (NothingIsSound-x@hotmail.com):
Oh My Gosh! I saw the movie Dawn Anna and I also saw Bowling for
Columbine and I was so sad. Every time I hear about Columbine I want to cry!
I cried in Dawn Anna. I recommend it!!! RIP Lauren Townsend and all the
other Columbine Victims. Date: 2/1/2007 Time: 2:52:44 PM Comments from Donald Van Deusen (ianvic199@yahoo.com): David A. MacDonald of Toronto, Canada has got it all wrong (see his comments above or below). He says " The Shooting Game by Joseph Lieberman is no longer available at Amazon.com and hasn't been for several months." Idiot! The book was popular it is going into another printing. Sometimes Amazon gets sold out, but they soon have more. It is the BEST book on school shooting EVER! The bigger problem is that MacDonald seems to be in love with killer Kip Kinkel. I mean, really, does he seriously believe “Kip Kinkel is a good person who is kind and thoughtful and who would never have committed the acts of May 20 and 21, 1998 had he not been profoundly mentally ill.” Sure he was insane to a degree, but Kip had a history of violence going back to kindergarten. Lots of people are bipolar but they don't shoot their parents and kids at school. Kip was just an animal. He wrote in his diary: “I am so full of rage that I feel I could snap at any moment. I think about it every day. Blowing the school up or just taking the easy way out, and walk into a pep assembly with guns. In either case, people that are breathing... will stop breathing. That is how I will repay all you mother f---ers for all you put me through.” Kind and thoughtful? Surely only his sister still clings to that illusion. David, you are sick, sick, sick. Date: 2/4/2007 Time: 3:02:50 PM Comments from KS(angelmercysavior@gmail.com): Thank you for letting me visit this website. I enjoyed every part of this site. I hope that you do not mind but I scanned a copy of the "13 angels" poem. I am also a senior and I fear that some dumb kid is going to turn my school into a tragedy. I do not want my family to tune in to see a another school shooting. I know that some kids at my school are lying and will not show their fear but, they too are scared and want to act strong around their friends. I personally think that every kid at my school could be an enemy. I also believe in Jesus and someone asked me, I too would say "yes." I pray that no more students will have to fear what Columbine had. Date: 2/13/2007 Time: 1:30:21 AM Comments from Sue Cyr (suecyr5412191230@yahoo.com): In the shooting at Lindhurst High, I was working in the ambulance that took Sergio Martinez to the hospital. He had his arm blown off by a shotgun. I do not know what happened to him. And also the boy who got shot in the head was a friend of my son, (whom I took out of that school 3 months earlier) The boy who got shot in the head was a cartoonist and was real smart. what happened to him. I know these people lived but I have not heard from them. Date: 4/17/2007 Time: 2:30:31 PM Comments from Sara (saraboobear12@yahoo.com): I think it is horrible what they did to those students even if I am a high school student I still think it is horrible to see so many people dead. I am sorry for the schools loss. I just hope when I have kids. I hope they never have to go through that.

I think that its a very sad thing in this world that people have to shoot and kill just to get their point across that they are different and they are apart of this world and how they can be who they want to be. Because of the bullying and teasing across the world innocent kids are dying for no legitimate reason. * RIP the people who died in COLUMBINE and VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE !!* Date: 4/17/2007 Time: 8:18:52 PM Comments from Carisa Acosta (amorebene@msn.com): Hello, your friend who will never for get your kids. Am blogging the Angels to show my support for the families Best regards and warm hugs, Carisa Acosta Date: 4/18/2007 Time: 7:54:36 AM Comments from 84 graduate: I thought long and hard about stabbing a tormentor in junior high and high school in the kidneys as not to kill him but for him to be disabled for life. This guy made my life a living hell. Sometime I still wish I would have done it. Date: 4/19/2007 Time: 1:18:30 PM Comments from Jennifer: DO you ever think of what made them snap like that!? People just don't start killing people for no reason at all. Someone had to have picked on them to make them explode. Date: 4/20/2007 Time: 10:33:09 AM Comments from Grant T. Smith (gtsmith@viterbo.edu): I learned about your web page through Channel 8 News. Actually, I had already viewed some of your pages because I was present at the Valley High School shooting in 1982 in Las Vegas. Grant T. Smith, Ph. D., Viterbo University Date: 4/22/2007 Time: 4:39:43 PM Comments from Dr. Sharon Young (drsharonyoung@yahoo.com): Your contribution to the understanding of the vast problem of school violence should be seen in the mass of entries on this site. Thank you for your time! Your contribution to my dissertation is appreciated as well! Your entries after July will be missed. Date: 4/30/2007 Time: 11:10:54 PM Comments from Michael Drope (madrope@comcast.net): Lindhurst High School - May 1st 1992. This day changed my life forever. I like to think I have made positives out of this event but I wish it had never happened. To this day it still has a profound effect on me. I said goodbye to Mr. Brens minutes before the shooting and his face is forever burned in my mind and my dreams. No kid should ever have to deal with this kind of tragedy. You never leave my mind: Mr. Brens; Jason; Judy; and, Beaman. Date: 5/1/2007 Time: 10:57:12 PM Comments from Kareena: This is a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to the victims and their families. Good Job! Date: 5/16/2007 Time: 8:48:58 PM Comments from Deanna Mendoza(deannam89@yahoo.com): I currently go to Valley High School where a teacher was shot and killed 25 years ago on March 19, 1982, Mr. Piggot. There is currently a scholarship awarded every year to Valley students. I believe this is a great thing to keep his memory alive. Date: 7/27/2007 Time: 9:38:05 PM Comments from Chris Poulson PhD (cpoulson@utas.edu.au): I have been compiling files on shooters since 1996...When I came across your site I realized how many I have missed. Your statistical summary at the end just overwhelms me. Thanks for all your hard work. I understand how difficult it is to deal with the stories. I periodically swear off the work! My focus has been on locating writing done by shooters prior to the events searching for "paralinguistic" markers of shame. Thanks again! Date: 7/31/2007 Time: 2:50:18 PM Comments from Anonymous: May God bless all the victims and their families. I am from Fayetteville, Tennessee where the 1998 shooting of Nick Creson happened. I worked for the newspaper, and I can tell you it ripped people's hearts out. It was a sad and senseless act of jealously. Two very young guys with their lives taken away, one by death, the other by life in prison. My heart goes out to ALL the victims and their families. We need to do something to stop all this violence. Always remember, they are ALL "Angels" among us. Date: 8/12/2007 Time: 9:34:04 AM Comments from rrr: When you're being picked on, and no one isn't really interested, you have to push back. Idiot people with superiority complexes don't realize their actions, and their own stupidity, if they don't get proper feedback. Killing is wrong, at lets these douche bags off too easy - there's no afterlife whatsoever so it's better to get them repent for the rest of their lives. Long torturing, invalidating... watching as the "alpha-males" start crying and piss their pants in pain... then asking them if they feel superior anymore... that's how they'll learn, and never pick on others again, or think they're somehow superior. Less people will be walking with their heads filled with piss. Date: 9/8/2007 Time: 11:31:42 AM Comments from Connie Wells (cwells2@sbcglobal.net): I am a Senior at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa, Texas. I visited your website to help with research for a paper I am doing on school violence. I was absolutely amazed that the problem of school violence reached so far back in time. I was truly impressed with what I have read. I hope that one day we will all be able to heal and put these tragedies behind us. We don't always understand why God allows things like this to happen, but I do know that He is in total control. Until the changes can be made and we can better prevent the problem, I will never forget and I will always remember. God bless you. Date: 9/8/2007 Time: 4:03:39 PM Comments from Jennifer A. Busbey (jbmo911@hotmail.com): I went to Langham Creek High School. I did not enter until a year later after the school shooting. I had just moved to the area. We lived right behind the school. I always worried that something would happen like that while I was there. Fortunately nothing happened but I can tell you everyone was always on their toes. The school never again took anything for granted. Thank you for all your work you have done in collecting this information. I never knew that so many shootings happened. The news never reported them, I guess because no one wanted us to worry about this. Date: 10/3/2007 Time: 10:34:00 AM Comments from MO SRO: Your web site has been a constant source of information for me as I teach educators and officers on school safety. If we are to be safe, we must know about these incidents, the catalysts that drive them, and how to thwart them. I appreciate your work. I am sure it has taken volumes of time!!! Date: 10/5/2007 Time: 9:07:14 PM Comments from Gary (gbobroff@hotmail.com): Hi, Just a correction to your article titled "Ian Bazalgette Junior High School, Calgary, Alberta, Canada". Mr. Hilford was NOT arrested by "The Mounties". The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is used in areas, mostly rural, that do not have their own police force. In this case, the arrest was by the Calgary Police Service. Regards, Gary Date: 10/14/2007 Time: 1:03:13 AM Comments from Scott (scottman782002@yahoo.com): Keep Up The Good Work and Thanks For remembering these tragedies. Me and My community was affected by the Crosby shooting on Crosby, Texas in 1991. Scott Date: 11/30/2007 Time: 10:11:46 AM Comments from Ralph W. Larkin (Rlarkin@nyc.rr.com): Thank you very much for documenting violent school incidents.

Date: 2/22/2008 Time: 8:22:26 AM Comments from Rebecca Ensley (skyblueteen@yahoo.com): The victims of Columbine are missed very much. Date: 2/25/2008 Time: 10:04:31 AM Comments from Marva Karo (queenmkaro@yahoo.com): I have been studying your work beginning in the later part of last year. I e-mailed you to continue to do this work. I know it is stressful and depressing, but it needs to be documented. It is time that we citizens must appeal to the policy makers on the changes we want to see in our schools K-12 and colleges alike. Like you, I have researched some of the school shootings (the major ones), trying to identify solutions (outside of the metal detectors, police on campus, mandatory counseling, the Clery Act, and a peace studies curriculum). A solution is possible, we just need to find it. Date: 3/17/2008 Time: 10:17:05 AM Comments from Sandra (sandra.beaugrand@hotmail.fr): Hello, I'm from France and I heard about Columbine 3 years ago. I know I'm a little bit late but I was too little to understand what a school shooting is... well, Columbine is so sad, I'm still shocking by it and we have to remember Columbine always... by the way your website is so great :) kisses from France, we are all thinking of Columbine and the victims of this tragedy send me an E-mail if you want it =) Date: 4/18/2008 Time: 8:10:25 AM Comments from Angelina Lopez (angie_lopez@live.com): I have been researching on this subject for sometime now, and the more I read the more I grow in this story. And I have never been through anything like that but this caught my attention and it is very sad to hear about something like this and it is frustrating not being able to help! I think god that the people who were killed are in a better place. Date: 4/20/2008 Time: 9:28:36 AM Comments from Hillary Theimer (hdaisysun@aol.com): I am praying for all of Columbine High School and their families and friends. It saddens me on this day but also I know that there is HOPE and HEALING. God bless you all, Hillary Theimer Date: 4/26/2008 Time: 2:12:29 PM Comments from Donna Marie Cox (donnamarie9@msn.com): Rest in peace all victims of school shootings xxx Date: 5/1/2008 Time: 11:03:40 AM Comments from Phillip J. Crom (eddie_maiden4842268210@yahoo.com): Thank you for your hard word and tireless efforts to help end this violence. I was both a friend of Jason White (God rest his soul) and I am still friends with Wayne Boggess (whom I have lost contact with, sadly) and I know it is a difficult subject to deal with, the death of those so young. Thank you for the others, as well. I didn't know anyone at Columbine, by God my heart still hurts for them and any one who was at any of the schools that were attacked. I say thank you for those who cannot, and for those who are, to this day, still too grief stricken to say thanks. I too, still long to hear the voice of my friend; Jason was a real character and I miss talking to him as our brothers would play together. (his younger brother, Jeremy Stickle, and I still communicate often since he and my brother, Scott, have been friends since the 3rd grade.) But that won't happen. I face that when I think about Jason, Beamon, Judy and Walter. I didn't know the latter 3 personally but I know four promising futures were put out and many more were marred forever. (Nine others I believe were wounded. I may not remember that count correctly however.) Thank you, for being a balm for an injured soul. If you wish to contact me, I would be more than happy to help clarify the information on your pages for Lindhurst because there is still more to be told, and until we do stopping such senseless acts of brutality will be difficult; truth and awareness are our greatest allies in the war to stop school violence. My email is eddie_maiden4842268210@yahoo.com and I hope to hear from the owner of the site so that this, and all, the stories can be told fully.

And why children can have an access to weapon??? People in your country should fight against weapons. You made a very good job with your website and I really hope that it will help. A lot of kiss from France we love you and we are very sad for what it happens to you. Franck Hauser from le Perreux sur Marne near Paris, France. Date: 10/4/2008 Time: 3:00:35 PM Comments from Doug Reynolds (safety.quest@yahoo.com): The memory of the lives cut short at Columbine in 1999 is still on the minds of many. Some out of respect, a few out of copy-cat thoughts. I am a recently retired School Safety and Security Coordinator after spending 34 consecutive years serving a school district in Wisconsin. The last 20 in school safety. I am still helping schools in Wisconsin with safety and security planning, and continue to wonder at the ways Hollywood and the electronic media industry glamorize the "gutsy shooter" and throw that model up for Americans time and again for our collective admiration. God help us. Your loved ones memory is sacred, and many of us will continue to fight to keep our children safe. I just heard of your web-site and wished to commend your efforts. Date: 10/24/2008 Time: 6:24:29 PM Comments from Dawn Russo Cornejo (dawn_cornejo@hotmail.com): I was a sophomore at Valley High on March 19th, 1982. Just reading the story, brought all those horrific memories right back like it was yesterday. I felt my stomach start to hurt and before I knew it, tears were falling, and my body was shaking, reliving that entire week. Mr. Piggot was the kindest, most generous and giving person any student could ever have had. There are bits and pieces missing from this story, like, Mr. Piggot and his wife would bring troubled teens home to live with them, Problems with Parents, emotional stuff, whatever you needed he would counsel us. He was working with Patrick at that time. I guess Patrick just didn't want the help that so many of us needed. That's right, we all got no counseling. I remember his memorial had to be moved downtown to accommodate all the kids who attended. Well Mr. Piggot, I still think your the best thing since Peanut Butter...... Date: 11/3/2008 Time: 3:18:44 AM Comments from Alyson Knill (a_knill1310@hotmail.com): I am from Great Britain and I have been reading all sorts connected with the Columbine shootings, I find it hard to comprehend that these two guys were so tormented that it led to this tragedy, and from what I read they shot and killed people they classed as friends, maybe something can come out of this tragedy, and that is to stop making people feel like outcasts, because they may be a bit different. xxx Date: 12/2/2008 Time: 1:31:34 PM Comments from Rebecca: I would like to say that my heart goes out to the families of all the victims of the school shootings. I have 2 young children and the thought of sending them to school scares me sometimes. I can't imagine the pain of losing your child like that. I would also like to say that the pain is just as great for the families of the perpetrators. I personally knew Heather Smith and her family were good friends of my family. No one would have ever thought she was capable of such violence-she was a very smart, very sweet girl. The anguish her family felt, and the guilt for the other families suffering, will always be with them. I hope that violence never has to touch anyone's life.
