Students and faculty escape from Columbine's teacher's lounge

Downhill from Columbine's west entry. At the top of the photo you can see broken glass from the shot-up doors. At the bottom on the far right is the broken window of the teacher's lounge where SWAT released students and teachers from the school. The white things heaped on the ground are window blinds. Dan Rohrbough's body can be seen at the base of the stairs on the sidewalk, behind the fence.
