History

The 1999 Columbine High School massacre, in which seniors Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 students and a teacher, sparked nationwide school-security reforms and a lasting debate over gun control. Those policies remain contested, and the October 28 2026 Oberlin College shooting that left professor Pipo Nguyen-Duy and his wife dead has revived calls for stricter background-check laws in Ohio and at the federal level.
