Columbine High School Massacre: An Utter Failure

In April 20th, 1999, Eric Harris, and Dylan Klebold decided to attempt to attack their high school, Columbine High School, and failed.

The Morning
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were not exactly ready to shoot up their school. They felt they didn't have the moral fiber to do it. But they decided to go along with it. They got in their car, and drove directly to the school, not deciding to distract the police or the fire department. The day before, Dylan decided to warn Brooks Brown, still confident that things would go fine.

At School
When they got to the school, they made a fatal mistake, as Dylan's choice had a SWAT team waiting at the school. When they arrived, Eric decided to try to kill the SWAT team. Nearly immediately on trying, Eric was shot down. The SWAT team then walked to the vehicle, and they saw Dylan carrying a Tec-9, and they forced him to get on the ground. They arrested him, and the school was locked down for the rest of the day.

Sentence
Dylan was sentenced over 50 years in prison, restituted 50,000$ for a critical injury inflicted onto an officer (Eric shot an officer) and for the terror the threat caused.

Eric, however did not die immediately. Despite being shot down. He was put in a prison hospital. He died a week later due to lead poisoning.

A Day in History
Eric's words in the prison hospital related to how he was bullied by multiple people, mainly the athletes in the school. This helped multiple anti-bullying acts, as it shows what happens when a person takes an extreme length when it comes to bullying.

Dylan's words were similar, in an interview, he mentioned that him and Eric were picked on by bullies, and that Eric had the idea of killing them. Dylan was low on morale, so he did not decide to attack the officers, and instead, cooperate. In 2049, Dylan Klebold will be freed from prison.
