Columbine by Dave Cullen

Many of you are familiar with the events of April 20, 1999 which took place at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado even though you were probably very young on this day. Two boys came to school with the purpose of shooting the kids that picked on them and the two boys were part of something called the 'trench coat mafia' who were a bunch of angry 'Goth' kids, right? There was also a girl who said yes, she believed in God before they shot here, correct? Well, author and journalist Dave Cullen investigated the circumstances of this event and the aftermath ever since that tragic day and he's discovered that many of the details are completely made up or very different from reality. This book is one of the nominated titles for the 2012 Abraham Lincoln Award and the library just got a copy, maybe you should check it out and find out for yourself what the truth really is surrounding this horrific day in American history.
