“Twenty years ago, tragedy struck Columbine High School. Today we remember the 13 innocent victims, their families, and a community determined not to be defined by this senseless act of violence.
“This tragedy opened a troubling new era for our country. Unlike the America I was raised in, we have an entire generation growing up with the fear that they could be a victim of a mass shooting at their school. We cannot accept this as our new normal. As we pay tribute to the lives taken at Columbine we also rededicate ourselves to freeing every American child from the shadow of gun violence.”

“On the 20th anniversary of the heart wrenching tragedy at Columbine High School we must all remember the friends and loved ones whose lives were taken far too soon,” said Senator Gardner. “As a Coloradan and a father of three I will never forget April 20th, 1999, the day the sanctity of our schools was taken away as parents waited in anguish wondering if their child would make it home. Today is a solemn reminder of the terror unleashed at Columbine High School, and while the years continue to pass since this dreadful day, our state and our country will never forget.”
