Until January of 1998, Eric Harris and Dylan Kleboldlived fairly normal lives. Klebold, a Colorado native, was noted for his shyness and intellect. He and Brooks Brown both attended the Colorado CHIPS (Challenging High Intellectual Potential Students) program for gifted children starting in the third grade. Brown left within a year, citing the comp...
Bullying was fairly common at Columbine High School and teachers reportedly did little to stop it. For Halloween 1996, one routinely bullied junior named Eric Dutro had his parents buy him a black duster jacket for a Dracula costume. The costume fell through, but he decided that he liked the trench coat and the attention it got him. Soon his friend...
After Halloween 1997, Harris and Klebold bragged about shooting trick-or-treaters with a BB gun. The same year, Klebold was suspended for carving homophobic insults into a freshman boy’s locker. Meanwhile, Harris started pushing people away. Unable to drive yet, he relied on Brown for rides to and from school. Brown, an admitted slacker, was routin...
The journals of both Harris and Klebold provide insight into both their planning of “Judgement Day” and their psychological makeup at that time. In early 1998, Harris stopped posting online and began keeping a notebook he titled “The Book of God,” mostly dedicated to his homicidal fantasies and nihilistic “philosophy.” Klebold had actually been kee...
For a year before the Columbine shooting, Harris dedicated himself to building dozens of explosives: pipe bombs and “crickets” made from CO2 canisters. He looked into making napalm, and at one point tried to recruit Chris Morris into what he had planned for these explosives — playing it off as a joke when the other refused. Harris also took notesab...
The next morning, April 20, both boys got up and left their houses by 5:30 a.m. to begin final preparations. In some ways, the killers’ writings help decrypt the Columbine shooting not because of what they reveal about their emotions, but the details of what they had really wanted to do. From the outside, the massacre at Columbine High School looks...
Compared with Harris and Klebold’s ambitions, the Columbine High School attack was a complete failure. Originally planned for April 19 — the anniversary of the Waco Siege and the Oklahoma City Bombing — the attack, Harris hoped, would beat Timothy’s McVeigh’s body count in Oklahoma. He fantasized about planting bombs around Littleton and Denver, an...
