Twenty-three years ago this week, I was set to take my teenage daughter to an appointment when my editor at the Columbine Community Courier, Casey Ehmsen, called, “There’s been a shooting at Columbine High School. Can you go?”
I left my daughter at home and raced to the high school about five minutes away, parked next to Leawood Park, and ran across Pierce Street into the north parking lot and to the policemen standing there. The looks in their eyes and on their faces told me that this was the big one and it was going to be a long day, at least.
I said to a policeman, “I’m from the community paper. I’m going to follow you.” The policemen didn’t say no, so I stood there with the police and looked around. No police tape was up. The adjacent Clement Park was silent. The school parking lot was silent.
