Columbine shooters | Videos and tapes
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
This section holds information about the various video recordings associated with the Columbine shooting, mostly home videos made by the shooters that police had to investigate and that the media desperately wanted to be first to leak to the public.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold made several videos featuring themselves and their friends, including the infamous Hitmen for Hire. Dylan worked with the Theatre department, and he and Eric were both in Audio/Visual class. This gave them access to recording equipment as well as the Rebel News Network (RNN) broadcasting station at the school. They left behind several VHS tapes of class projects and personal home videos. Most have been released to the public now, with one notable exception — the Basem*nt Tapes. Jefferson County claims to have destroyed all copies in 2011.
Eric Veik, who worked on many of the video projects made by Eric and Dylan, expressed to investigators that the shooters were both very creative people. He didn't want the videos they made to be used by the media to make them seem like monsters. He was concerned the footage would be demonized and didn't want to see that happen as he considered it valid artistic expression. The videos are now widely available on the Internet. Their inclusion here is for educational purposes. No slight is meant toward him or anyone else who appears in or helped with the creation of the videos.

In addition to what's listed above I have a few GB of additional video and audio files that I haven't posted yet. I am slowly getting them uploaded online and linked. Apologies but I can't email these files — it'd take forever to send them that way to everyone who asks.
