SCHOOL MASSACRE ON THIS DAY IN 1999

 Colorado School District Proposes Tearing Down Columbine High School - WSJ   
   
25 years after Columbine, survivors say they're still haunted by the attack  - Good Morning America

On April 20, 1999, two teenage gunmen killed 13 people in a
shooting spree at
Columbine High School in Littleton,
Colorado, south of Denver.

At approximately 11:19 a.m., Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris,
18, dressed in trench coats, began shooting students outside
the school before moving inside to continue their rampage.

By 11:35 a.m., Klebold and Harris had killed 12 fellow students
and a teacher and wounded another 23 people. Shortly after
noon, the two teens turned their guns on themselves and died
by suicide.

The crime prompted a national debate on gun control and
school safety, as well as a major investigation to determine
what motivated the teen gunmen.    
  

In the days immediately following the shootings, it was
speculated that Klebold and Harris purposely chose jocks,
minorities and Christians as their victims.

NEVER-BEFORE SEEN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND

Split image of hall, coat of arms at site

(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists recently unveiled a series of
strange, centuries-old inscriptions at the site believed to
be the location of the
Last Supper – just in time for Easter.

The Room of the Last Supper, also known as the Cenacle,
is located on
Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The hall was built
by the Crusaders in the 12th century, though pilgrims have
venerated the site as early as the 4th century.

The recent discovery was announced by the Austrian
Academy of Science (OeAW) on April 16, with the help
of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

Archaeologists identified some 40 elements of graffiti,
including five coats of arms.

AP Was There: A truck bomb rips through a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995 – WSB-TV ...

Just after 9 a.m. on April 19, 1995, a massive truck bomb
exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The blast collapsed the north face of the nine-story building,
instantly killing more than 100 people and trapping dozens
more in the rubble.

Emergency crews raced to Oklahoma City from across the
country, and when the rescue effort finally ended two weeks
later the death toll stood at 168 people killed, including 19
young children who were in the building’s day-care center
at the time of the blast.
