Photos of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold dead after committing suicide. The Columbine Massacre had been so deadly that it is easily considered one of the most serious acts of terrorism on American soil. Combined with having happened in a high school, a place meant to symbolize youth and facilitate learning, the shock around the story remains over 20 years later. The Rocky Mountain News photography staff received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography “for its powerful collection of emotional images taken after the student shootings at Columbine High School.” The 20 award-winning images in this gallery are presented in the order submitted to the prize committee. Publishing photographs showing the grisly sight of slaughtered children is the latest answer from those seeking to move the public and politicians to act. Information and photos of shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the victims and survivors, the library, aftermath, news, basement tapes videos, and more. Established 4-21-99, this is the first and most thorough reference about the Columbine tragedy. In this March 14, 2018, file photograph , an orange ribbons adorns a fence after it was tied there by a student during a walkout to protest gun violence on the soccer field behind Columbine High.
