 In honor of the wounded, lost and families of Littleton,Co. April 20,1999 |
This picture was in the newspaper of the Trenchcoat
Mafia
There were fire alarms going off, strobe lights, four inches of water in the cafeteria. We had been told there were bombs in backpacks and there were backpacks everywhere.
30 explosive devices had been found at Columbine, in the killers' vehicles and at their homes. Late Tuesday, more than 10 hours after the shootings, a time bomb blew up, but no one was hurt.

Taken April 20,1999, Columbine High School, Littleton,Co. 
The Picture that all of America will always remember. His name is Patrick Ireland. Patrick is still in the hospital listed in serious condition. Patrick is hospitalized at Anthony Central Hospital. The following as reported by CNN: "On Friday, Patrick Ireland was listed in serious condition, paralyzed on his right side with a bullet lodged in the back of his head. He was shot twice on the left side of his head. A bomb fragment hit him just below the hairline, while one of the bullets ricocheted from his skull. A third bullet entered his brain and traveled 8 inches to the bone at the base of his neck, said neurosurgeon J. Adair Prall. Ireland has feeling on the right side of his body, but the injury disrupted his motor function and impaired his speech center, much like a stroke, Prall said. Despite the injuries, Ireland's prognosis is good, the surgeon said. His speech center is expected to improve, and his paralysis could be reversed, although he probably will have significant weakness on his right side, Prall said." UPDATE: Patrick Ireland, 17, fair; intensive care; multiple gunshot wounds. Started rehab at Craig for brain injury. He was shot twice in the head caussing the same effects as a stroke. UPDATE: May 7th,1999 Patrick Ireland Speaks Publicly One student who survived the Columbine shooting met with members of the media for the first time today. The image of Patrick Ireland's rescue will be a lasting one from the Columbine shootings. He was the student who tumbled out of the library window after being shot in the head and foot. He fell onto the top of a truck with the help of SWAT team members. Pat says he does not really remember all of what happened that day. He said he went out of the window because that was his only option. "It was the shortest way down.. my whole right side is paralyzed. I felt confident there would be someone there to catch me." Pat is suffering from a brain injury and is at Craig Hospital undergoing rehabilitation. He said he is doing something new with his muscles everyday. Pat's mother choked back tears at the news conference saying friends and even strangers have been incredibly supportive. "We have been completely enveloped by love and care it has carried us and the kids that came up to visit us at St. Anthony... just obviously care for Pat and us." |
