Yesterday 13 students and teachers have been shot down at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado while 21 other students are injured. The two gunmen were fellow students Eric Harris and Dylan klebold and the both committed suicide after the attack. “They seemed weird and shy” say the students who knew the assassins.

This High School massacre is the third-deadliest only beaten by the 1927 Bath School massacre and the 1966 University of Texas massacre. The two gunmen had Tuesday at about 11 o’clock, brought two sawed-off shotguns, a nine-millimetre rifle, a nine-millimetre semiautomatic pistol and some homemade bombs to school where they shot anyone who was standing in there way.

At 11.30 the last shots are fired leaving 13 dead and many more injured. About a half hour later the two gunmen commit suicide leaving a whole town in chock. The SWAT team found several homemade bombs placed strategic on the school campus according to Rockymountainnews.

Apparently there have been two pipe-bombs in the cafeteria which both where set to go off a quarter past 11 0’clock, where the cafeteria would normally been full with people. Luckily those two bombs never exploded.3

But what makes these teenagers act this way? The two gunmen where both bullied a lot in the school and that may have been the trigger that set them off. It seems like they didn’t cared about their fellow student’s lives and their own. So maybe they had some mental issues that people didn’t knew about. But all this raises a big question. How are two young people like Eric and Dylan able to get this amount of weapons and explosive without anyone noticing it? Surely they where not fitted to have weapons. So maybe we should change our weapon policy? Off course there are people who will prostate and say that they have there right to have weapons. But do all Americans need the right to have weapons? If you ask me I would say that weapons should be banned and give us a safer united states.
