American homicide with his partner, Eric Harris, shooting and bombing Columbine High School. On April 20, 1999, before 11:25 AM MDT, Littleton, Colorado, the two youths opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, two sawed-off shotguns, a handgun and dozen of homemade bombs. The boys, aged 17 and 18, killed 15 people and wounded that many before killing themselves. The two boys had charmed their way through the legal system, managing to avoid the attention of school authorities or classmates. Neo-Nazis, they had been planning the massacre for a year to coincide with Hitler's birthday, accumulating enough fire-power to start a small revolution. They were convicted of a felony in January 1998 after breaking and entering, a theft. Last February they completed a community service program. Both boys were noted as bright and capable. In spite of an avowed hatred of sports jocks and blacks, once begun, their killings were blindly indiscriminate. The school of some 2,000 kids was in chaos as the realization swept through that the gunfire and exploding bombs were real. Students fled for cover as bodies fell, blood spattering. Within 20 minutes the swat team was on hand - but too late for the young people who lay dead and wounded. Link to Wikipedia biography
