"25 Years Later: The Lingering Impact of the Columbine Shooting"

Survivors of the Columbine High School shooting, which occurred 25 years ago, still grapple with the trauma and haunting memories of the attack. Craig Scott, who witnessed the horror in the library, vividly recalls the events and the loss of his sister, Rachel Joy Scott, who was the first victim. The shooting left 12 students and a teacher dead, and 21 others wounded. Since then, 415 people have been killed in school shootings, prompting survivors like Krista Hanley to advocate for self-defense and emergency preparedness. Despite the trauma, survivors like Scott have found healing through forgiveness and sharing their stories, while efforts like the Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety aim to prevent future tragedies.
