A week-long series of events commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre culminates today with a remembrance ceremony celebrating the lives of the 13 victims killed in the rampage

Two Columbine students, just three weeks shy of graduation, stormed the suburban Denver school on 20 April 1999 armed with shotguns and semiautomatic weapons.For the relatives of those they killed, today evokes a mix of emotions from sorrow and anguish to fond memories of loved ones.

Evan Todd was a sophomore at Columbine two decades ago when he was wounded in the school library, where ten of the students were killed. He often recalls his football teammate Matt Kechter, who was shot dead just a few feet away from him.
