Columbine killer's mother tells of horror of suffering her son caused in high school shooting

Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher in the 1999 shooting rampage in suburban Denver. Twenty-one people were injured before Klebold and Harris killed themselves.

"Dylan's participation in the massacre was impossible for me to accept until I began to connect it to his own death," she wrote in an essay in next month's issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. "Once I saw his journals, it was clear to me that Dylan entered the school with the intention of dying there. And so in order to understand what he might have been thinking, I started to learn all I could about suicide."

"Early on April 20, I was getting dressed for work when I heard Dylan bound down the stairs and open the front door. Wondering why he was in such a hurry when he could have slept another 20 minutes, I poked my head out of the bedroom. 'Dyl?' All he said was: 'Bye'. The front door slammed, and his car sped down the driveway. His voice had sounded sharp. I figured he was mad because he'd had to get up early to give someone a lift to class. I had no idea that I had just heard his voice for the last time."

"For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused," she wrote. "I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son's schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives."
