:34:03
had killed 12 students
and one teacher.

:34:07
Dozens of others were wounded
by the over-900 rounds of ammo

:34:10
that were fired. It is believed
that the guns that they used

:34:13
were all legally purchased
at stores and gun shows.

:34:17
And many of the bullets
were bought

:34:19
at the Littleton K-Mart
just down the street.

:34:22
- Harris's diary also detailed
ideas about hijacking

:34:25
an airplane and crashing it
into New York City.

:34:28
Some may characterize that
as fantasy...

:34:30
- In the end, they turned
the guns on themselves.

:34:36
- And then he came
into the library,

:34:38
shot everybody around me,
then put a gun to my head

:34:42
and asked if we all wanted
to die and...

:34:45
- We started hearing shots
in the hall

:34:47
and then they came in
and they all told us

:34:49
to get under the desk
and we all got under the desk

:34:52
and then they started coming in
the library and opening fire...

:34:56
- I just started screaming
and crying and telling them

:34:59
not to shoot me.
And so he shot the girl,

:35:02
he shot her in the head
in front of me.

:35:05
Then he shot the black kid,
because he was black.

:35:12
- I have only five words for you:
:35:15
From my cold, dead hands.
:35:17
[ cheering ]
:35:20
- Just 10 days after
the Columbine killings,

:35:22
despite the pleas
:35:23
of a community in mourning,
:35:26
Charlton Heston came to Denver
and held a large pro-gun rally

:35:29
for the National
Rifle Association.

:35:31
- Good morning.
[ crowd ]: Good morning.

:35:35
Thank you all
:35:36
for coming and thank you for
supporting your organization.

:35:41
I also want to applaud your
courage in coming here today.

:35:45
I have a message
from the mayor,

:35:49
Mr. Wellington Webb,
the mayor of Denver.

:35:51
[ booing ]
:35:53
- No, no, no, no, no.
:35:56
He sent me this,
:35:59
and it says: "Don't come here.
We don't want you here."
