Rachel Joy Scott was 17 and sitting on the grassy area outside Columbine High School with a friend on April 20, 1999, when two fellow students, Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, began their assault. Rachel was shot four times by Eric Harris and died from a bullet to her left temple; her companion Richard Castaldo was also shot multiple times but survived.

Harris and Klebold moved from the school exterior into the building, killing 12 more people and wounding over 20. Their initial plan had reportedly involved large explosive devices that failed to detonate, after which they carried out a coordinated armed attack using several firearms. The two perpetrators died by suicide in the library, where ten victims were killed; because they died at the scene, no arrest was made for the shootings.

Investigations later indicated the victims were chosen at random. Two people who supplied a gun to the shooters were later sentenced to prison. Does anyone who knew Rachel or Richard have memories to share, or information that could further illuminate that day?
