It was on April 20, 1999, that two Columbine students gunned down 12 classmates and a teacher in the Denver suburb of Littleton. “It was a difficult choice, but it’s enabled us to help students who are struggling with issues in their own life,” Darrell Scott said. The Scotts’ son, Craig, was also a student at Columbine and was at the school the day of the attack. More meaningful than observing anniversaries would be to ask whether society will act to prevent school shootings, Mauser said. She learned that from a friend she described as a “motor mouth” who came to her house after the Columbine shootings but — to her surprise and relief — said nothing.
