Ahead of the anniversary, hundreds of metro-area schools, including those here in Highlands Ranch, were closed for a day while law enforcement searched for an 18-year-old Florida woman, who made what officials deemed credible threats against schools in the area. Officials believed the woman, Sol Pais, was “infatuated” with the shooting at Columbine and had traveled to the state for a “pilgrimage.” Authorities said she purchased a shotgun in the area and later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound near the base of Mt. Evans, along Colorado’s Front Range.
