Witnesses & Testimonies Of Columbine (Police Officers & Personnel)

by Preston Ward Condra

Welcome to a Part 4 read of the Columbine FBI 11K documents. Part 4 essentially covers the interviews of the police officers, that arrived on and off the scene of the Columbine High School shooting, that took place on April 20, 1999. It's pages 8,700 to 10,075 in the report. To be honest? Most of these are not very good. But someone has to compile the witness reports. Enjoy.

With what I did, during my time of the shooting is irrelevant.

There was not much I ended up doing there, before, after and during the crux of the shooting.

However? I will say I was given an assignment, to analyze the surveillance camera footage, of the stores nearby Columbine.

I got a hit.

Back on April 9, 1999, we got Eric and Dylan going inside a store called Albertson's.

It located off Bowles Avenue and Kipling Street.

There were clearly two young boys, in the footage to make the purchase.

It was four propane bombs.

The clerk at the counter said, the only requirement to make the purchase was that you had to be 18 years old. (Eric was 18, Dylan was 17.)

April 9, 1999, was Eric Harris's 18th birthday.

Eric made the purchase, on his 18th birthday.

My daughter goes to Columbine but, she's too shaken up to provide any information.
