Now that I've moved the article, I'm not sure if it needs to exist in a separate state. The Columbine description is entirely redundant to the main Columbine High Massacre article, nor do the recitations of "Columbine-like" incidents add to the article. I shall broaden the list to include some work-place or other non-high-school incidents, Also, the article would be a reference for issues in the police SWAT article, which I'm rewriting to relflect changes in tactics for police.

I've now taken out some of the redundant Columbine references, which already exist in the full Columbine High Massacre article. There was one movie not in the full article (Duck! Carbine High Massacre) which I added to the movie list in the full article. Tychocat 09:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted some changes by REN, mainly to note that Active Shooter incidents include snipers. Added a section on changes in police response, which admittedly should have been their earlier, but oops. Added links and citations to beef up documentation. Tychocat 08:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
