Twelve students and a teacher were killed on 20 April 1999, when two teenagers armed with an assortment of weapons and home-made bombs went on the rampage at the school.
LITTLETON - Dozens of people gathered Friday on the 20th anniversary of the Columbine high school massacre, many still angry that authorities have done little to prevent copycat killings in the years since.
"You would have thought someone would have come with more gun laws or require mental health workout before you are allowed to buy a gun," said Amanda Duran, who was 15 when the attack happened.Only last year, 17 students and staff were killed when an ex-pupil went on the rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, while 27 people, mostly children, were killed at Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012 and 32 at Virginia Tech university in 2007.
An American teenager whose obsession with the massacre set off school closures and a manhunt in Denver was found dead Wednesday from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
