Until January of 1998, Eric Harris and Dylan Kleboldlived fairly normal lives. Klebold, a Colorado native, was noted for his shyness and intellect.

Brown left within a year, citing the comp...
Bullying was fairly common at Columbine High School and teachers reportedly did little to stop it. For Halloween 1996, one routinely bullied junior named Eric Dutro had his parents buy him a black duster jacket for a Dracula costume.
