3:16 pm
become too familiar played out for the first time april 20, 1999. the students who ran from the horrors of t the mass shshootint columbine high school in littleton could hardly have known so many others would follow in their footsteps. 12 students and one teacher died that day at columbine as wewells the two disaffected teens who executed the massacre. survivors brought shocking stories of random cruelty inside. >> started screaming and crying and telling him not to shoot me. so he shot the girl, shot her in the head in front of me and he shot the black kid because he was black. and he shot him in the face. reporter: they prayed it would never happen again. the response from then-president bill clinton became a script to often repeated by other leaders. -- too often repeated by arthur

3:20 pm
problem. the newer generation grew up with columbine as an event in history. in a sense, it normalized school attacks could happen anywhere although the reality is they are still very, very infrequent in the u.s. despite the press coverage of such. nevertheless, these arare horrie events and i think the younger generation as demographics shift toward a y younger geratatio wee wiwill seeee a substantitial chn various ways to keep people safer. carl: you have e mentioned since columbine there have been dozens more mass shootings since that time in 1999. many of the perpetrators did i like the shooters in columbine. how did these two students essentially become cult figures?

streaming video? has that changed things? >> one of the things it has done is a accelerateded these cases r the past eightht to 10 years. that there has been fbi studies and one that harvard public health did concerning the uptick in numbers of cases. social media really in a sense becomes accelerant. itit becomes a vector that can carry this contagion and to other young minds. i think there also is now a much greater awarereness of the i imt of s social media a and commercl media covering these events. there has been substantitial changess by the memedia. the photo of the pertrator is not publisheded as widely as thy used to be. they are notot shown in some
