10 Years Later, The Real Story Behind Columbine

Toppo, Greg. "10 Years Later, The Real Story Behing Columbine." USA Today, 14 Apr. 2009. Web. 15 Mar. 2010

Greg Toppo, journalist with USA Today, explains the story behind the shooting at Columbine, a high school in Littleton, Colorado. He shows evidence from the diaries of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, that they enjoyed bullying younger children in their high school. This alters the belief that Harris and Klebold were bullied by others themselves. He also explains that Harris and Klebold were avid players of the military created video game, Doom. He explains that Harris and Klebold created their own version of the game, in which there were two men dressed in trench coats and armed with guns, that go into a school and shoot all of the "jocks" and cheerleaders. Months after creating this version of the game, they performed the same act in this shooting.
