Seventeen-year-old Corey Tyler DePooter was a junior at Columbine High School and one of the victims of the April 20, 1999, school shooting. Described as a good-natured outdoorsman who loved fishing, hunting and golf, he had taken a maintenance job at a golf club to save for a fishing boat and had spoken of plans to join the U.S. Marine Corps. On the day of the attack he was in the school library sheltering under a table with friends; witnesses say he tried to keep them calm and reportedly shielded two fellow students before being fatally shot by one of the attackers.

The two assailants later died by their own hands in the library. Several associates were later charged or investigated in connection with obtaining weapons used in the attack. Corey was made an honorary U.S. Marine in a posthumous ceremony on May 3, 2000.

Does anyone who knew Corey or his circle have memories to share that could help complete his story?
