Comments: I 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~

Comments: 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 teacher from Germany

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.

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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!!

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....

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: 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 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 from J. Gary Cockman (Cgary704@aol.com): We need more compassion in our schools. We need teachers and administrators to look at kid's needs first then the subject matter. Right now 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.

Comments from Lydia (lil_loca_chula_6990@yahoo.com): I'm really sorry for what happened and that is a real tragedy. 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.

Mancuso may be paroled soon due to a new NC law that encourages the release of offenders convicted before 1994. http://www.wral.com/news/5480065/detail.html. Mancuso left a tape in his car stating that he would kill other girls. His attorney said he was mentally ill, and he could be released?

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.

I could not believe how much that movie affected me emotionally, and got me so interested in this tragedy. God Bless all who have had to go through such a horrible time.

Comments from Stacey : This page was everything I looked for about the "Lindhurst High Siege" held by Eric Houston. All I'm now looking is for a picture of this guy. I was shocked when I found out through your page that 2 High Schools that I know, that my friend's attend to, had shooting on the 90's and most recently on 2002. John Glenn High School and Gardena High School . While reading all the other stories I became sad, to think of all these school shootings and how lives are taken. When the Columbine incident happened, I didn’t give it much importance or thought I was 10 years old. But now that I'm 16 and a high schooler, I see how bad the Columbine incident was, how tragic it truly was. I can only imagine how scared they felt when they were in there, not only the Columbine students but the other schools too.  I have to congratulate you for such a good site that commemorates all these tragic events, they will never be forgotten. Take care.

Comments from Victor: The Lindhurst Story with Johnny Mills really touched me. Not only because I'm from the same town, but also because most staff don't talk much about it (I guess they think they're protecting us). The town has always had its problems and differences; but we should all be glad nothing like that has happened since.

Comments from 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 (because you know that it will not stop).

Comments from Eric W. Barton (adreiumcity@yahoo.com):  I was a senior at Lindhurst High School the day of the shooting in 1992, and there is not a day that goes by that I am not, in some way, reminded or affected by the horrific events of that May 1 day. I was 19 at the time of the shooting when I lost my first period teacher. He was more like a lifelong family friend than just my Civics Instructor. He was a true mentor to me and an inspiration to everyone who knew him. He will continue to be missed and never forgotten.

Comments from Cheryl (spiritdancer_8@hotmail.com): While looking for Andrew Kehoe info I clicked on your site, it is eye opening, I didn’t know there were that many attacks in schools. I grew up and went to school at Bath, even years after the bombing people would look towards town for smoke anytime there was any kind of blast sound, also his property was off limits for years in fear that there was sticks of dynamite still buried. The last survivor of the bombing just died a few years back and the school was also torn down, a remembrance statue is now standing there.

My heart goes out to the families in Littleton, Colorado all the way from Toronto, Canada.

Comments from David Lessard (davidadro@cox.net): How sad it comes unto us all, whenever there's a loss of any child under any circumstance, but it becomes to be ultimately tragic, when they, the innocent, come to leave us from that of a violent death, due to the hands of another.
Society has many measures, but as it comes unto us, it can be mostly reflective, if one studies all it's comparatives there with-in it's institutions.
How truly frightening it comes to one's mind, when no comfort can be found with-in those given factors, as we try to remain complacent for our children’s sake, while understanding, that as those tragic episodes continue to haunt us, we are truly helpless to protect those we love, and to whom are entrusted unto the care of others.
I'll tell you, I myself can't comprehend any thought now, and more so as an adolescent, to the bringing of a gun to any public place. One time, many moons ago, I remember that I had absentmindedly forgot to take this small pocket knife out of my jeans pocket, only to discover it there after arriving at school. I suffered that whole day, in the fear that somehow it would be noticed, and I'd be expelled, or be brought unto the wrath of an angry, disciplinarian father's bidding.
But, as it comes, and as it goes, that measure of society was far less liberal back then, and was a time where values and guidance came to it's youth, as we were given needed limitations, as well as received marks, and feedback unto the given studies of citizenship.
It seems now though, we've come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to let those without any comparative ability to understand what repercussion means, to be allowed to make all decisions for themselves. The chemistry with-in the mind of an adolescent just hasn't the capacity to formulate an adult action=responsibility decision. One's ability to process comparative decision doesn’t develop until after puberty, or in other words, about an age range of 18 to 20.
Without proper parental guidance, and protection, as well as being given fair and defined perimeters, those that we just let loose unprepared into the world from day one, haven't any clue to what societal structure even means, nor do they find an easy way to properly place themselves with-in it, once they do.
By letting a child roam alone with-in their own life, it can only come back to them absent in understanding goals, absent in where they fit, and absent in meaningful achievement, as there's nothing allowing them to see past their own unmeasured world, nor to bring any purpose to what they do with-in it.
May we all find tolerance, and peace with-in, to forever guide us into a better future, and a far more understanding world.

Comments from Rhiana Gallen (rhianagallen@yahoo.com): I dedicated a neopets guild (because I couldn’t afford a website) to the shootings and I hope u view it. I also wrote a poem this April and I would like to share it with you.
Most have forgotten
About the small high school
On a day so rotten
This was no April fool.
Parents were worried
Students were scared
Parents hurried
Feelings were shared.
A shot goes off
A student scream
All silence but a cough
This was not a dream.
As the seventh anniversary passes
Those who remember turn glum
As nobody can see through the glasses
Of those who are numb.

Comments from Cian Iremonger (cian_i@hotmail.com): Hello there.
I am a European. Shocked as I was to hear about Columbine, I can not help but feel that you ALL, as a country, are somewhat to blame for this tragedy.
Not to point the accusing finger, but if the comments posted on this page are anything to go by, you seem to be an uneducated people, unable to spell words such as "violence" , "loving" , "happened" etc.
This is not to say that you all are stupid, but maybe to look towards the government. You have elected a lying manipulator to run your country. You all need help.
Obviously, my heart goes out to the ones that lost relatives and loved ones in the two tragedies that your website concentrates on, but I cannot help but wonder if you have all missed the underlying trend.
The people that perpetrated these uncondonable acts of violence and hate were (and still are) being pushed aside by the massive machine that is your government. The two children from Columbine, though misguided in their actions, at least had the nerve to stand up and say, in a completely inappropriate way, that they felt judged and abused by their peers.
The attacks on the World Trade Centre also are inexcusable, but look at the people who are supposed to have done that. What you all call "towel heads" are an incredibly poor, uneducated and third world people. You should be ashamed that they actually brought the war to your doorstep, when you, the God-Almighty-We-Do-No-Wrong USA have been doing this for years.
Think of all the people who lost their entire homes, families and possessions during the Vietnam war.
And you want sympathy.
You need to take a good look at what's going on INSIDE your, and I misspell the word on purpose, CUNTRY, and see that you have a lot of improvements to make.
I am not a Michael Moore fan, but he has a point or two that you could look at.
Sincerely, and with the best of intentions, Cian Iremonger, Pre-School teacher

Comments from Michael Davies (MilitaryDavies@hotmail.com): Since the shooting I have felt traumatized. My name is Michael Davies and there were two school shootings in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I completely understand how it is to go through such an event. I lift the families of the injured and passing kids in Christ Jesus. I pray that the lord will comfort them in every anniversary of columbine. God is good.

Comments from Mrs. Maxine Bowman (maxinebowman67@hotmail.com): I am very impressed with the work you have done on Violence in Schools. I am currently doing a report on this for university but found the word limit too restrictive so have decided to do this topic for a PhD later after my bachelor. If you have any further information I would be pleased to read it. I am doing this topic because I am concerned for all people involved in school violence and would hope to one day contribute to the reduction. Thank you , Maxine.

Comments from Maxine Bowman (maxinebowman67@hotmail.com): I have now read the rest of the website which I had missed before. It was very moving and I couldn't help crying. I would like to send my sympathy to the families of the students and teacher that died and to all the students and staff that have been traumatized by the events of April 20th 1999. I hope you have been able to rebuild your life. My thoughts also go to everyone else that was at the school that day. Best wishes for your life ahead. Maxine.

Comments from Dawn: I don't know anyone personally, but my heart goes out to everyone who lost a love one in any school tragedy. You know if you didn't have faith you would be lost. Faith is the thing that keeps us going because we know god does everything for his own reason. You just have to thank him at all times whether good or bad. Put GOD first and everything else will fall in place.......KEEP THE FAITH

Comments from Tom Mo (tommo@hotmail.com): I would just like to say that I (almost) completely agree with Cian Iremonger.
It is not at all surprising that the sort of tragedies witnessed at Columbine and now at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey , Colorado happen. The notion that guns kill, not people is really rather silly. People kill and with guns it makes it a lot easier. So the more guns you have the more killing you will have. It's fine to show someone getting 'blown away' on TV. and in the movies but showing Janet Jackson's nipple is so wrong! You Americans are a sad bunch of losers. If you all started killing each other tomorrow it might do the rest of the world a big favor.

Comments from Jeanna Osborne (ojeanna813@netzero.com): I have a son in the 10th grade, so I feel even more affected by the 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.

Comments from D. MacDonald (ianvic199@yahoo.com): The book The Shooting Game by Joseph Lieberman is no longer available at Amazon.com and hasn't been for several months. Apart from lacking both footnotes and an Index or any serious attribution to his "sources", this book, while writing under the pretence of making a serious examination of the phenomenon of "school shootings", turns out to be a totally unfair, inaccurate and malicious attack upon Kip Kinkel, who, beyond any doubt, suffered from a very profoundly serious mental illness, untreated, and without which Kip Kinkel would never have committed the horrendous acts which he committed on May 20-21, 1998. I have come to know Kip over a period of nearly six years and he is in no way the person Lieberman depicts him as. This book should be given an F- grade. I use this grading method because the author of "The Shooting Game" should be trying hard to get through a 101 level course in writing, rather than pretending to be "the authority" on school shootings. In my experience, Kip Kinkel, treated for his illness is a kind, understanding and intelligent person who fits quite appropriately the description "a good person" and not the evil person depicted by Lieberman, in his malicious book. Additionally, it is questionable what the author's real intentions were in writing this book; if it was money he is out of luck; if an intelligent enquiry into the causes of "school shootings" he has totally failed to bring any light to this most disturbing phenomenon. Hence my "F-" grade.

Comments from Aja Williams (danasiah21@yahoo.com): Well it's been like 7 years and I was reading about a school shooting here in PA where a milk man went in a school and tied up 10 little girls, killing 5 and leaving 5 injured and it made me think about the terrible columbine shooting. I was in 10th grade when that had happen, it was a shame. You never know what kids are thinking and what is gong through people mind. I never once looked anything up on this school until this past weekend and I never ever would want to be in that situation. From everything I have read and heard it just made chills go all through my body, my prayers till this day go out to the families. Your children were all angles and they still are angles, the angles that make sure you wake up everyday, and let you know that they will always be with you.

Comments from David MacDonald (ianvic199@yahoo.com): My apologies for my post, dated October 6, 2006. Because The Shooting Game by Joseph Lieberman of Eugene, Oregon was advertised on this site. I thought at the time it was appropriate. I stand by what I said but would like to express my very sincere condolences to all those who died, or were injured, their families, friends and to all those who were affected by this meaningless and tragic "event." God Bless them all, and may their lives return to a semblance of normality and may they totally
regain their health and happiness. Very Sincerely, David MacDonald, Toronto, Canada
