Cassie Bernall, often cited as being shot by Harris after being asked if she believed in God, was actually under a table praying before being brutally murdered. The famous ''Yes!'' quote can be attributed to Valeen Schnurr; a phone was still on call, and in the background, a man can be heard asking a girl if she believes in God, after which she promptly responded in the affirmative. A gunshot follows, but this was the other assailant firing down a hallway. Valeen Schnurr escaped with injuries to the chest, arms and abdomen. This much-publicized conversation, often attributed to Bernall, has caused serious debate and controversy, due to rumor and speculation setting in years before concrete evidence was released to the public. Schnurr's unconquerable Faith, even faced with death, has nevertheless inspired millions of Christian teenagers around the globe.<ref>http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/salon.htm</ref>

Eric Harris displayed the typical hallmarks of a clinical psychopath combined with a violent sadistic streak. He may have also had a superiority complex, although this is debatable due to the feelings of low self-worth he displayed in his journal writings.<ref>Columbine (Dave Cullen)</ref> In the 'Basement Tapes', Harris describes how he knows how evil it is what he is about to do, but says it is 'inevitable'. This is strange for psychopaths, who usually attempt to justify their actions, no matter how arbitrary or irrelevant the excuse.
Dylan Klebold has been suggested as a suicidal depressive with suppressed rage, as he was usually shy and reserved, but prone to outbursts of extreme anger.<ref>Columbine (Dave Cullen)</ref> He also struggled with alcoholism and poor self-esteem. Oddly, his father, Tom Klebold, described how Dylan was anti-gun and a proponent of gun-control.
