LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Work
ing around bodies still lying where
they fell more than a day earlier,
bomb squad officers checked lock
ers and backpacks for booby traps
Wednesday as investigators tried to
piece together one of the deadliest
school massacres in U.S. history.
Fourteen students and one
teacher were killed at Columbine
High School, most of them in the li
brary. They included the two teen
age gunmen who laughed as they
opened fire on their schoolmates
Tliesday.
The gunmen, Eric Harris, 18, and
Dylan Klebold, 17, apparently shot
themselves in the head. Officials
were trying to determine if others
were involved, and they questioned
other members of the boys’ dark
group of outcasts, the “Tfenchcoat
Mafia.”
Authorities on Wednesday re
moved the bodies of two victims
who died outside the building. Also,
more than 24 hours after the attack,
parents finally received official word
of their children’s fate. Police hoped
to remove the other bodies later in
the day.
Investigators left the corpses in
place overnight so that they could
check for explosives and record the
details of the crime scene, which
SWAT members described as some
thing from ‘‘Dante’s Inferno.”
Many bodies were sprawled on
the floor, slumped in desks or
crouched beneath tables, boxes and
cubicles where they apparently tried
to hide. Police found a handgun un
der one of the killers, and a semiau
tomatic rifle and two sawed-off shot
guns elsewhere.
‘Tt was a different sort of chaos
inside,” SWAT Sgt. George Hinkle
said. ‘‘There were fire alarms going
off, strobe lights, four inches of wa
ter in the cafeteria. We had been told
there were bombs in backpacks and
there were backpacks everywhere. It
was the toughest tactical problem
I’ve ever seen.”
Sheriff's spokesperson Steve
Davis said 30 explosive devices had
been found at Columbine, in the
killers’ vehicles and at their homes.
Late Thesday, more than 10 hours af
ter the shootings, a time bomb blew
up, but no one was hurt.
“Some of these devices are —
on timing devices, some are in
cendiary devices and some are
pipe bombs,” Sheriff John
Stone told ABC’s “Good Morn
ing America.” “Some are like
hand grenades that have got
shrapnel in them wrapped
around butane containers.”
Eleven of the victims were
male and four were female.
District Attorney Dave Thomas
said there was no evidence
that the killers targeted mi
norities, as some students
claimed. Only one of the 13
victims was black.
“I’ve only seen the pho
tographs, but it appears to me
that most of the victims were
victims because of where they
were at a particular time, not
that they were sought out,”
Davis said. “Most of the vic
tims were in the library, and
that’s where these two persons
ended up. ... 1 don’t know
what the motive was other
than anger.
Sixteen people remained hospi
talized, 11 in critical or serious con
dition.
Klebold’s parents have not spo
ken to reporters, and Harris’ parents
issued a statement saying only: “We
want to express our heartfelt sym
pathy to the families of all the vic
tims and to all the community for
this senseless tragedy. Please say
prayers for everyone touched by
these terrible events."
Witnesses said Harris and Kle
bold targeted athletes and minori
ties, laughing at their victims and us
