Dozens of people gathered Friday on the 20th anniversary of the Columbine high school massacre, many still angry that authorities have done little to prevent copycat killings in the years since.
Twelve students and a teacher were killed on April 20, 1999, when two teenagers armed with an assortment of weapons and home-made bombs went on the rampage at the school, whose name has become synonymous with school shootings.
"You would have thought someone would have come with more gun laws or require (a) mental health workout before you are allowed to buy a gun," said Amanda Duran, who was 15 when the attack happened.
"But nothing of that sort happened. So I have just been angry and pissed off."
"I went deaf at that point and I thought for sure that I was going to be next."
"So I curled up really, really tight, put my arms above me like this and just kinda held my breath, braced myself to get shot in the ribs. Just waited, waited."
