== Public Outcry ==
After the massacres, a fear and paranoia gripped the globe: teenagers were now a thing to be feared. Before the killers bodies were even found, the liberal media had released several ''facts'' about Harris and Klebold; namely, that they were goths, homosexuals, loners, members of the now-infamous Trenchcoat Mafia, wildly speculating on the amount of casualties, who the killers were (original reports suggested as many as seven). All of these were swiftly found to be untrue, yet some have persisted in the form of online gossip.
Dave Sanders, the only staff member killed in the tragedy, was only attended to three hours after being shot through the neck and heart: he died fifteen minutes later. Due to SWAT regulations, no paramedics could enter the building until the area had been secured. The SWAT department received harsh criticism, both from the media and the public.
