Remembering Columbine

Updated: August 15, 2012

On April 20, 1999, the worst incidence of school violence in U.S. history occurred at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Two heavily armed students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killed 13 people and wounded 23 before taking their own lives.

If you know about a weapon threat at school, don't delay -- tell an adult you trust or call the toll-free number 1 (866) SPEAK UP, a nationwide anonymous hotline operated by the anti-gun violence group PAX.

See photos from anniversary memorials of the Columbine High School shootings and remember to call to report a weapons threat.
