History

Historical Context

On April 20 1999, seniors Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 students and a teacher at Columbine High School, sparking nationwide gun-policy debates and new school-security tactics. More than two decades later, the September 10 2026 Gastonia residence shooting left two dead and two wounded, an isolated domestic dispute that still highlights persistent gaps in threat-assessment and gun-access regulation.
