Did anyone attend Columbine High School during the shooting?

Hi, I am writing a research paper on the shooting that occured at Columbine High School. I would like to know if anyone here had attended school that day in Columbine high school or the surrounding schools. If so, could you please give me some details as to what went on and what had happend after. Thanks so much, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Did anyone attend Columbine High School during the shooting?
I was in the second grade at Leawood Elementary when the shootings happened. Leawood is only a minute away from Columbine. I was in lunch, and over the intercom, the principal announced that all students had to return to their homerooms; that there was something going on outside. Since Leawood was so close to Columbine, the students came there, and I will never forget seeing their faces. They were confused, lost, and every single one was crying because they knew that people had been killed. I remember crying myself because I was afraid something had happened to my babysitter, who was a junior there.





I am now a sophomore at Columbine High School, and I would never dream of going to another school. Everyone there is wonderful and we have a ton of school spirit. We have a beautiful new library dedicated to those who died. Our softball jerseys have Dave Sanders' initials on them because he was a softball coach.





One of my math teachers was a junior there when it happened, and she said that they went across the street and into the neighborhood and houses around the school to get away from it all. There were people who couldn't contact their parents for hours because cell phones weren't as popular.





My other math teacher taught both boys. He said they were brilliant, but quiet. After the shootings, backpacks and books were all left inside; the students were not allowed back inside to get their stuff. They all finished out the school year at Chatfield High School and when they came back to get their stuff in June (maybe August?) some of teh bags had been checked and had little tags on them from teh police. My teacher said it was really creepy seeing all of their stuff sitting right where they left it.
Reply:It's very hard for me to talk about it, because I knew Eric and he was my classmate. All I can tell you is that it was the most tragic and most horrifying day of my life. Report It

Reply:I did not attend Columbine, I went to a different school at a different time.
