The victims of the Columbine High massacre
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

  When they attacked Columbine High School, the shooters injured 24 individuals and killed 13 more before committing suicide. All but 3 of their victims were injured by gunfire. The people who survived, their families and those of the people who died, were left to grapple with a horrific situation they could barely comprehend. The hours following the massacre were filled with chaos, fear, confusion, and panic as parents scrambled to locate their children and the media scrambled to cover the event.

The SWAT team eventually rescued the few survivors who couldn't save themselves. Those who were wounded and those who survived the day without physical injury have walked the road to mental and physical recovery as best they could. Funerals were held and memorials were erected in honor of those who died. Families have tried to heal in the wake of this tragic event. The sections below are devoted to the victims and their struggles.
