Columbine High School massacre shooters death photos . Photos of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold dead after committing suicide. My only notes from that time reflect my feelings: “ Sick - Stress, Shooting at Columbine.” These images represent my efforts to show the outpouring of compassion and care that came from the surrounding schools and community. The Rocky Mountain News photography staff received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography “for its powerful collection of emotional images taken after the student shootings at Columbine High School.” The 20 award-winning images in this gallery are presented in the order submitted to the prize committee. The Columbine Massacre had been so deadly that it is easily considered one of the most serious acts of terrorism on American soil. Combined with having happened in a high school, a place meant to symbolize youth and facilitate learning, the shock around the story remains over 20 years later. However, rather than rebuild the library exactly as it appeared in newspaper pages and police photos , Rogers transformed the grim scene into a cartoonish, nostalgic otherworld, where cult characters from Rogers’ youth relived Columbine’s grisly events. The Columbine school shooting was the deadliest mass shooting at a U. K-12 school in history until it was passed by Sandy Hook in 2012 and Uvalde in 2022.
