Chronology

At 11:10 am on Tuesday, April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold arrive at Columbine High School in two different cars. They park in two different car parks on non-reserved sites. They equip themselves and join soon after. While Eric unloads the sports bags from his car, a student, Brooks Brown, who was the source of the Harris complaint following death threats, spots Eric Harris and tries to chat with him. . Eric says, "Brooks, I like you now. Get out of here. Go home.
Eric and Dylan are posted in two strategic points offering a good view of the university cafeteria and controlling the two main outings.

At 11:14 am, a bomb placed in a field 800 m from the school exploded as planned. The goal was to create a diversion and mobilize firefighters and police at this time. Firefighters quickly manage to extinguish the fire created by the explosion. Harris and Klebold then enter the institution's cafeteria to place two 9-kg propane tanks, each supposedly exploding at 11:17 am.

The cafeteria surveillance video did not record that moment operator is now changing the band. Once the charges, concealed in large bags, placed, Harris and Klebold stand out and resume their respective places near their cars. The explosives are powerful enough to destroy the cafeteria, or even to collapse the library on the first floor. Harris and Klebold plan to keep the outings to eliminate the surviving students who try to escape.

At 11:17 am, the bombs in the cafeteria had not exploded, so Harris and Klebold got into their cars to dress in black coats and collect their assault rifles. They then head for the stairs to the west entrance which is the highest point of the campus.

At 11:19, a witness heard Eric Harris shout "Go! Go! ". The two teenagers open fire and shoot at Rachel Scott and Richard Castaldo, who are having lunch sitting on a grassy mound next to the west entrance to the school. Scott is killed, Castaldo is seriously injured. Nobody knows who started shooting or who killed Scott. Eric then removes his coat, pulls out his 9 mm semi-automatic and fires a group of three students towards the west staircase.

Then they shoot at students sitting in the grass to the south.
Klebold then descends the stairs towards the cafeteria, he pulls one more time on a student seriously wounding him. He then goes to another student who crawls down the stairs and shoots him in the back at close range, killing him. He then goes to the cafeteria, certainly to see why the propane bombs did not explode. Meanwhile, Harris shoots several students trying to escape. After a few seconds, Klebold goes up the stairs and rejoins Harris.

A visual arts teacher, Patti Nielson, thinking that Harris and Klebold were shooting an amateur video, walks over to them with a student and challenges them to stop them. Harris pulls in the direction of Patti Nielson, who is injured by shards of glass, she manages to take refuge in the library, where she manages to police the police.

At 11:24, a first police officer quickly arrives at the scene and fires with Harris and Klebold. The alert is then given and the authorities, although outdated as shown by the recordings of their radio exchanges, know that a shooting was underway in Columbine High School. When the officer runs out of ammo, Harris and Klebold enter the school and head to the cafeteria as they cross the corridors, shooting at those they meet without distinction. They kill a student who was trying to warn others in the library.

At 11:29, the two students enter the library where 52 students and 2 teachers, including teacher Patti Nielson, are hiding under the tables. Harris yells "Get up! ".

The two students shoot at the students hidden under the tables, chat with some of them before slaughtering them or letting them go like John Savage, a friend of Dylan, whom he shouts to leave or Cassie Bernall to whom Eric would have asked: "Do you believe in God?", The girl would then have answered that she believed in it. Eric then shoots, killing her instantly; the recoil of the weapon breaks his nose. They commit in this place the greatest number of victims: 10 students perish in 7 minutes.

They also launch several bombs, although many of them are not functional. They then evoke the idea of starting to stab students to pigmenter things.

At 11:42, the two students left the library, probably because of Harris's bleeding nose, ending the massacre. They go to the cafeteria they vandalize and wander the corridors of the establishment, terrorizing students hidden in their classrooms or toilets by threatening them with death but without using their weapons again.

At 12.00, the two murderers then return to the library where all the victims, except two wounded, fled. After a few exchanging shots with the police outside, they committed suicide at 12:08 with a pistol bullet in the head for Klebold and a shotgun bullet in the mouth for Harris.

Two intervention teams enter the school at 1:09 pm; they move from class to class, discovering hidden students and teachers. All students, teachers, and school staff were taken out, interrogated, and treated before being transferred by bus. The police found the bodies of the library at 3:30 pm

At 4:00 pm, the sheriff made an initial estimate of 25 dead students and teachers. At 4:30 pm the school was declared safe. However, at 5:30 pm, additional officers were called because explosives were found in Klebold's car in the parking lot. The sheriff decided to place the whole school as a crime scene. Thirteen dead, including the shooters, were still inside the school.

At 10:45 pm, the car bomb exploded when a policeman tried to defuse it. The car was damaged, but nobody was hurt.
