It was close to the noon hour of April 20- 1999 and I was assisting our mama cat with the birth of her first and only litter of kittens.
Across the room- CNN was on the telly- showing live images from a news helicopter flying over the Columbine High School in Littleton- Colorado.
The school was in terror- surrounded by police and S.W.A.T. teams.
Two young gunmen- Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold- had entered the school where they were seniors and went on a killing spree- selfishly taking other lives apparently to validate their own existence.
Harris & Klebold took 13 lives in Columbine and wounded nearly 2 dozen others before taking their own lives.
Ten years later- those survivors of the Columbine Massacre tell their stories in this Associated Press article.
