“I think it’s important to remember because, first and foremost, Columbine was kind of the first, really, at the time, mass school shooting in the country. And it was such a monumental event at the time. You know, it’s unfortunate now that that has continued on. But I think at the time in our country, it was so unprecedented to have an event like that. And I think it’s just important to memorialize the young children who lost their life that day.”

“I brought 13 roses exactly. I left 13 roses on each of the, on each of the kids’ marker and Mr. Dave Sanders’ marker. Because to me, to me it just felt like that coming and reflecting on each 13, each each of the 13 people and the lives that they lived and the impact that they left. And they were people’s family members. They were people’s friends. They were human beings who lost their lives. And just to come back and reflect and remember the lives that were lost is very, very important.”

“I think now that I’m an adult and I understand more. What kind of needs to change. And hopefully we’re going towards that right direction is people just need to understand that we have more similarities between each other than we do differences and that, you know, we are allowed to, you know, disagree with each other but still ultimately, as humans, love each other. And I think it’s just not only high schoolers, but if the world took that view, it’d be a much better place.”

STORYLINE:
A steady stream of visitors gathered at a permanent memorial near Columbine High School on Saturday to remember the 13 victims of the 1999 shooting.
A wet, spring snowstorm didn’t deter people from leaving roses at the memorial, where the victims’ names are etched in stone. The youngest killed in the attack exactly 25 years age in suburban Denver was Steven Curnow, 14. The oldest was teacher Dave Sanders, 47, who shepherded students out of the cafeteria to safety and was shot as he tried to get students upstairs into classrooms.
The others killed were Cassie Bernall, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Dan Rohrbaugh, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin and Lauren Townsend.
“I think it’s important to remember because, first and foremost, Columbine was kind of the first, really, at the time, mass school shooting in the country.

And I think it’s just important to memorialize the young children who lost their life that day,” said Steven Pope, who was 7 years old at the time of the shooting.
Zelda Menefee brought 13 roses to the memorial, one for each victim.
“They were people’s family members. They were people’s friends. They were human beings who lost their lives. And just to come back and reflect and remember the lives that were lost is very, very important,” Menefee said.
