Alcatraz East Crime Museum’s newest exhibit, “The Columbine Massacre: 25 Years Later,” will be on display from April 5, 2024 through June 7, 2024.
The display will share information about the massacre that took the lives of 12 students and one teacher and left at least 20 people injured. The Columbine shooting was carried out on the morning of April 20, 1999, when the pair went into their school with a plan of killing as many people as possible. They committed suicide before authorities got to them.
Guests can learn about the massacre carried out by two students of the school, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, and see artifacts related to the tragedy. Some of the artifacts on display include a 1999 graduation card from Columbine, a student’s backpack with a Dave Sanders memorial patch, and a “We are Columbine” memorial shirt. Sanders was the computer and business teacher who was killed during the massacre.
