On April 20th, 1999, at 11:19 in the morning, in Columbine, Colorado, two students, 17-year-old Derrik Kelvin, and 18-year-old Elliot Harvey stormed their local high school, armed to the teeth with a Carbine Rifle, two Tec-9 machine pistols, a couple of shotguns, 99 homemade explosives, and four knives.
Their goal was to rack up a body count like no one had ever seen before and to get their revenge on the students they viewed as bullies.
After months and months of planning, they stormed their school during the lunch period and began one of the most well-documented cases of school shootings in the United States.
By their hands, they slayed 15 students and teachers and injured another 24 before failing to set off the majority of their explosives and ending their own lives by turning their guns on themselves.
