Families of the Columbine High School shooting victims have gathered at the school to tell their stories, nearly 20 years after the tragedy.
Families of the Columbine High School shooting victims gathered at the school on Saturday to tell their stories nearly 20 years after the tragedy, and they spoke of forgiveness, inclusion and healing, and the balm that sometimes only silence can bring.
"It was a difficult choice, but it's enabled us to help students who are struggling with issues in their own life," Darrell Scott said. "If you're bullied at school or harassed, that's wrong," he said. "But that's also temporary. ... When you choose to go and end somebody's life, that's permanent. That's a permanent judgment."Frank DeAngelis, who was Columbine's principal at the time of the shooting, wondered aloud how the killers grew so hateful, and whether part of the answer was that they felt excluded.
"We live it every day," he said. "It's a remembrance that we have every day that we lost our son, just like anybody who has lost a child."More meaningful than observing anniversaries would be to ask whether society will act to prevent school shootings, Mauser said.Rick Townsend, whose daughter Lauren was slain at Columbine, was thinking about kindness and recalling the outpouring of support that the families felt from people around the world.
