The Columbine massacre has inspired many kids and teens to try and make importance in society as a criminal outcast. Of the people who have tried to copy them are- James Holmes, Jared Loughner, and Sung Hui Cho. In fact, in David Hillshafer's article, ''The mass murder problem, the author talks about how Sung would write in 8th grade reports that, '' he wanted to repeat columbine''. His writings led to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre. James Holmes took his anger out by walking into a crowded Century 6 theater premiering ''The dark knight rises'' and throwing several tear gas canisters and firing out of a semi-automatic rifle with a 100-round drum magazine then out of his shotgun which both the rifle and shotgun malfunctioned, so he then began firing his semi-automatic Heckler and Koch Glock 17. After firing 8 to 10 rounds, the police were in and disarmed him and handcuffed him. He is currently in custody. ( Hillshafer 24-32)
For Sung Hui Cho, He killed 37 people with 2 pistols, a hammer, and over 400 hundred rounds of ammunition. After killing and injuring more than 100 people, he committed suicide. For Jared Loughner, he invaded a meeting at a local grocery store where he critically injured shot Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords in the forehead in 2011.(Henderson) Sandy Hook was not started because of columbine. The shooter was believed to be ''slightly mental''. ( Hillshafer 24-32)
