Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold

1) Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold , were two young guys from Columbine High School in Colorado . Both Eric and Dylan , were in seniors years , and they would have been graduated a few days after . In the 20 april of 1999 they wanted to take revenge on the people they accused of picking on and snubbing them.
Before that , they also made plans and they keept a diary and made also some videos , were they explain why they made this . They killed 12 classmate and a teacher and they injured 24 other studiants , 3 of them were trying to escape. This tragedy created a kind of fear in United States and in the World to .
Every week , there are school shoootings in United States even though we try to control much more this kind of terrorism , but the fact is that we are in front of another serious problem , carrying of firearms .
We know for sure that the majority of americans have firearms but the savety comes first and we neeed to control much more who use the fireams and how they use them.
3)American Horror Story: Season 1

One of the main characters in this season is a school shooter who killed 15 people. The writers of the show used a real internet search page in one episode where they edited "Columbine" to read "Westfield" but the rest of the search results obviously reference the Columbine shooting. The subject of the shooting reappears several times throughout the season. Aired 2011.

Elephant: A Film By Gus Van Sant


School-shooting movie told from the point of view of someone the shooters let go before the killing starts. Directed by the guy who directed Good Will Hunting and put out by New Line Cinema, it's probably the highest-budget film of its genre. While this meant it's better quality than most, it also unfortunately meant that a lot of people who saw this film didn't know anything about Columbine before. They then thought Elephant was a true-to-life retelling of what actually happened. It and Zero Day (see further down) caused a lot of confusion in their time. This film includes a gay scene in a shower between the shooters pre-assault that set off loads of renewed rumors about the Columbine shooters' sexuality.

Movie: (2003) Directed by Gus Van Sant. 

4) It's obvious that in USA , school shooting are really common and it's foundamental to fight against this. However , What are the reasons most commonly mentioned for the recurrence of school shootings in the USA? First of all in many cases , the shooters had suffered a lot in the past because of other studiants , they make fun of them , they judge the kinf of sexuality , well many reasons are possible ( this is in 86% of the cases)
Then , Maybe the shooters came from a Broken home, or maybe an underprivileged background . They didn't have any kind of Family context at hom , the felt really alone and they want to caught the attention.
Third, they are many time in front of video Games, movies ... and this make an influence on them and they turn into violent people .
To conclude i will say that maybe , also the fact that , to be in tuch so easily with armfire , make this into something really attractif and the young people whant to use them.
