I'm your host, Dr. Abdul Al-Sahia.

I was a freshman in high school when Columbine happened.

The two gunmen who went on the rampage booby-trap the building and even themselves.

The total of 15 people are believed to have died here, 12 students, one faculty member

and the two young killers.

Two students tore through their high school with a tech 9 semi-automatic pistol and a shotgun,

killing 15 of their classmates and injuring 24 more.

We didn't realize this at the time, but it was, as we epidemiologists call it, a Sentinel

event, the first of many more to come.

I remember learning about the shootings while at school.

All of a shocked and appalled by the images we were seeing on the nightly news.

You big with this internet wasn't a thing back then.

What's crazy to me is that I don't remember talking about what might happen if someone

came to our school to do the same thing.

It was so beyond the realm of believability that we even dared to picture it happening

in our own schools.

But Columbine changed everything.
