Columbine.  What comes to mind when I say that word?  For me, I remember the aftershocks of terror that enveloped a nation.  I remember the difference in school afterwards.  I remember having evacuation drills for shootings and bomb threats.  I remember school doors being locked so that no one could get in or out.
