Hackers target Columbine High School Zoom call with threats of shooting ‘remake’

The Jefferson County School District has abandoned a proposal to demolish Columbine and replace it after a community survey showed strong opposition to the idea. In a letter Wednesday, July 24, 2019, Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Jason Glass says the survey suggests there isn’t community support to rebuild the school. The district floated Columbine’s demolition because of what Glass had called its "inspiration" for people with a dark interest in the 1999 shooting that killed 12 students and a teacher. | (David Zalubowski/AP)
