Choice and Trait Theory




The columbine shooting happened on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School in

Littleton, Colorado. According to an article History.com, it mentioned that it was the worst high

school shooting in U.S. history. The killer’s names were Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. Dylan

was 17 years old andEric was 18 years old. Dylan felt like he did not belong in that high school.

Dylan and Eric had a lot of hatred for that school. They also got arrested in junior year of high

school. They had a criminal record even before they decided to shoot and bomb the school.

felt the need to shoot their classmates and a teacher. They chose to do it and they decided to do

this act. According to an article called "Portrait of a deadly bond", the parents of student Brook

Browns discovered something on Eric's website. Eric said something full of hatred on his

website and it said to “blow up and shoot everything I can. Feel no remorse, no sense of

shame...I do not care if I live or die in the shootout, all I want to do is kill and injure as many of

you as I can, especially a few people. Like Brooks Brown.” He threatened Brooks even before

the shooting, so he was planning on doing it all along with his best friend Dylan. Dylan followed

Harris’ footsteps into this plan, but it was their choice to do something this tragic to innocent

people. What seems interesting is that Brooks mentioned that Eric was a nice guy and he thought

he changed after he threatened him. He could have done that to stay low for a while until he

decided to kill at Columbine.

In the video I was watching on Columbine-guide.com, Dave Cullen said “I wrote the

book Columbine and it’s about two boys who seemed very normal and had opposite

personalities, moving in opposite directions yet arriving in the same place.” This crime uses trait
