Virginia Tech was it for me. NBC aired his video. I don't think any network had done that again until the Eliot Rodger shooting.

No, there was one in I think Missouri that happened about a year earlier where they pulled a fire alarm and shot the people that started coming out.

March, 24 1998.

This school shooting is older than Ocarina of Time! Columbine was April 20, 1999. That's a WHOLE WEEK before Majora's Mask!

@Questionmarktarius That's how much school sucks. I'm 32 and I've always heard that once you're done with school, you'll wish you could go back. I still don't miss it.

My graduating class, in 1993 rural Missouri, didn't really have cliques, but I was vaguely associated with the "psycho" one. One of my friends died when those guys decided to skip and play russian roulette for some reason. I didn't want to that day, or really any day.

Yes, I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade and staying with my aunt while my parents were on vacation. I stayed up late and saw it on the news and was utterly terrified. That said I never brought it up to anyone because I was more terrified of my mom finding out I stayed up late.

high school was far and away the best time of my life. different strokes, but friends that I/we've met in college have said our high school friend group sounded exceptionally fun compared to theirs

Pretty much, yeah. And there was this huge uproar about how bullying and rock music made them to do it. Then it turned out the two guys were fucking assholes the whole time.

Reminds me of the Simpson's joke where they go to the post office for a field trip and they make a joke about crazy postal workers and Skinner says he is glad he works at a school.

Colombine is the first one I really remember. I would have been in 6th grade then. I remember anyone who had a Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie shirt was pretty much treated like a criminal for the rest of the year.

I also went to high school with the guy in the infamous Virginia Tech photo, being carried out after he made a tourniquet for his own leg. Good dude.

Yes, but I was in elementary school so I didn't pay attention to stuff like that at all (or anything news-related, really).

I just remember my mom driving me to school and talking about it.

Topics like these make me realize CE isn't really getting any younger. I would have expected more people to say they weren't born then which isn't an unreasonable opinion that was 19 years ago. So basically everyone on CE is older than 19 damn. Where are all the 13-18 year olds going.

No, I was only like 5 or 6 at the time and I don't remember hearing much about it. I remember watching a movie about it a couple years later, though. The first shooting I actually remember was the v-tech one.
