When did public schools get security?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Public schools began implementing security measures in response to various incidents of violence and safety concerns. The exact timing of when schools started boosting security varies, as it has been a gradual process over the years. However, a significant increase in security measures in schools can be traced back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, following high-profile school shootings such as the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.

Did video games had anything to do with the columbine shootings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the combination of personalities of the boys allowed the Columbine tragedy occur. Without a Harris, Klebold was a typical underachieving, depressed teen who hated and blamed himself more than he hated or blamed others. Without Klebold, Harris was a psychopath who would have eventually, on his own, wreaked havoc on the world he hated and the stupid, worthless people who inhabited it; he enjoyed hating, he enjoyed demeaning, and he enjoyed the idea of inflicting pain and suffering on others. Harris was also an adept liar. His friends and classmates reported that he lied about anything and everything. He enjoyed lying as much as he enjoyed hating and knew that it gave him an advantage. Authorities have gained a lot of insight into these personalities since their deaths because they not only left behind their websites and videos, but also journals chronicling their true feelings.

What weapons did the the killers use at columbine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eric Carried an Intratec TEC-DC9 and a Savage 311-D 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun (barrel sawed down to approximately 23 inches).

Dylan Carried a 10-shot Hi-Point model 995 carbine rifle and a Savage-Springfield 67H 12-gauge pump shotgun (stock and barrel sawed off, reducing the entire gun to 26 inches).

The sawed-off weapons, both around 30 years old, were so short that firing repeatedly from them caused their hands to bleed on the practice range initially. They apparently acclimatized to the weapons over the months preceding the shootings. Both gunmen also carried several knives, but they did not use them on April 20. They named their pipe bombs. Four bombs are mentioned on Eric's website, along with their specs. 'Vengeance' and 'Atlanta' were found at the Klebold residence when police searched it.
