HeadlineMar 28, 2005

Saturday also marked the first time President Bush said anything about the shootings which marked the deadliest school shooting since the massacre in Columbine, Colorado six years ago. Bush had been widely criticized for not addressing the killings earlier. President Clinton expressed his condolences within hours of the shooting at Columbine.
