WHO?

Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18

IN THE SCHOOL

The shooting took place in Littleton, Colorado. The pair came to school late. They entered the cafeteria, where students were eating lunch, and placed two duffel bags containing propane bombs in the corner. The original plan was to wait outside for the bombs to explode and then shoot the survivors who were exiting the building. However, these bombs were badly made and did not go off. They walked around the school and killed Rachel Scott, Daniel Rohrbough and Dave Sanders, a teacher. They also injured Richard Castaldo, Sean Graves, Lance Kirklin, Michael Johnson, Mark Taylor, Anne-Marie Hochhalter, Patti Neilson, Brian Anderson and Stephanie Munson.
