Colorado Massacre: A "Suspicious Incident"

This is the 1998 "suspicious incident" report prepared by sheriff's investigators after Eric Harris reportedly threatened the life of a Columbine High School classmate and posted warnings on the Internet that he was detonating pipe bombs and wanted to commit mass murder. The report, loaded with chilling details, had been forwarded to the sheriff's deputy stationed inside the Littleton, Colorado high school, though apparently no further investigation was done. The document was released by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office after the Denver Rocky Mountain News disclosed details of the report in its April 30 edition. (7 pages)
