Hero Columbine survivor reveals he’s stopped 12 copycat shootings across the country

“I heard some popping noises coming from outside the school,” Craig, who was aged just 16 at the time, told Sun Online.

“They're shooting off their guns, they were taunting or making fun of students before they shot and killed them. “I heard someone asking for help. I turn around and behind me it was a girl rocking back and forth and she had her shoulder blown off from a shotgun blast and she's asking for help over and over and how, pick her up.”

Then I met someone who went, who went through something worse than I had gone through and lost his whole family in a tragic situation and he talked to me about the power of forgiveness and letting go. And so after a few years of being the kind of person that was hard to be around where I lost my temper and took it out on people, I started to forgive and let go.”

“Take the shooters at Columbine, if you read through their journals, they both had self hatred and they didn't think like they had value or that other people have value. While in the park next to Columbine school, a memorial features 13 heartbreaking tributes to the victims from their grieving parents, relatives and friends.Toby Canham for Sun OnlineA “wall of healing” contains quotes from those who lived through the tragedy.

Columbine at 20: how school shootings became 'part of the American psyche'It was an attack that could have been exception. Instead, its brutality has been made routine Because white shooting is mental health and other shooting is act of terrorism Something does need to be done about US gun laws. I cannot understand how NZ changing their laws hasn’t made the USA realise there is a need to protect the people. Not everyone should be allowed a gun. piersmorgan I know you will agree! People own guns all over the world, but nobody else seems to have these problems. It would be interesting to see how many perps were on head meds at the time of offending.
