Authorities released a chilling video Wednesday showing the Columbine gunmen laughing and shooting at trees and bowling pins six weeks before they gunned down 12 classmates and a teacher in a suicidal rampage.

Clad in a trenchcoat, Dylan Klebold at one point holds a sawed-off shotgun and shoots from the hip at a pin wedged between two tree limbs. He and Eric Harris then look at a bullet-shredded tree trunk.

‘‘Imagine that in someone's (expletive) brain," one of the teens says.

‘‘The videotape is important," Brown said. ‘‘What's really important is did the sheriff see it, did the school see it, or did the parents see it? How many opportunities were missed to stop these two killers?"

The video also shows Mark Manes shooting some of the weapons. Manes sold Harris and Klebold a TEC-DC9 semiautomatic handgun for $500 about three months before the massacre. The gun was used in the attack.
