Columbbine

Everyone has their favorite day, whether it be a holiday or their birthday. There is also a day where it will be the worst day ever for us, whether it be someone you loved has past, or a tragedy has occurred. Sep. 11 was a tragedy day for most of us. Columbines tragedy will happen when Eric and Dylan decide to go on with their plan. Within minutes of their shooting Columbine was surrounded by SWAT teams, and patrol cars. These two boys had wiped out majority of the student body. Before that, some of the peers close to Dylan and Eric were noticing things that were unusual with them. The boys had skipped school most of the day and when most were leaving for lunch, they were coming in with huge duffel bags filled with unknown things. They weren't sure what they were up to nor could they put pieces together, but moments later as the attack on Columbine begins some begin to put it together. As time goes by the media is coming in like mobs trying to figure out this story and relay the messages to all of the curious people. As some parents are getting the word they rush to see if their child will be ok or will they have to deal with a heartbreak?
As the media is telling the story the FBI asks them to stop for it might give the attackers clues as to where more hostages might be. In my opinion if this were our school I would be terrified. I wouldn't understand how they could not notice anything out of the ordinary. Although I think its kind of dumb we can't leave for lunch of anything, this could be a perfect example of why we shouldn't, and that its only for our good.
