LITTLETON, United States - Dozens of people gathered on Friday on the 20th anniversary of the Columbine high school massacre, many still angry that the 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 a mental health workout before you are allowed to buy a gun," said Ms Amanda Duran, who was 15 when the attack happened.Only last year, 17 students and staff were killed when a former 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.
"I went deaf at that point and I thought for sure that I was going to be next.""So I curled up really, really tight, put my arms above me like this and just kinda held my breath, braced myself to get shot in the ribs. Just waited, waited." The two gunmen killed themselves as police closed in.An American teenager whose obsession with the massacre set off school closures and a manhunt in Denver was found dead on Wednesday from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
