The extent of it is sobering: I documented more than 100 Columbine-inspired plots and attacks in the US in the two decades since the massacre.

Perverse myths about #Columbine went globalâjust as the offenders wanted. We all need to stop citing âColumbine-style attacksâ and reusing shooter images, which further stirs troubled youth to plot violence and even travel to the school, including this recent chilling case: 3/x
#BREAKING: @CBSDenver confirming that law enforcement has located 18yo Sol Pais from #SouthFlorida - the woman who made a credible threat to schools in #Denver, causing school cancellations today. 
"We got her" - an FBI agent said to a local sheriff as our @CBSDenver reporter was interviewing him.
The woman law enforcement has been looking for, Sol Pais, was reportedly naked and running through the woods, armed with a gun. We are still waiting to hear bout Pais' condition.

"Watching others lose a child and knowing what they feel brings it all back. I don't have a problem with responsible gun ownership, but there is nothing responsible about owning an AR-15."

I have seen so many heartbreaking tweets from #Columbine survivors praising the resilience of the students of #PARKLAND. Rightfully so. Tragically, these same survivors also are expressing their remorse and regret for not doing the same. 1/
2 things: #Columbine survivors are being shamed by irresponsible and heartless *adults* like @realDonaldTrump @PRyan and every other #GOPhypocrite. #Columbine & #PARKLAND survivors should not have to be the adults in the room solving this #guncontol disaster. 2/
#WeCallBS on every #NRABloodMoney recipient. U will ALL be dragged into the sunlight by every survivor & guncontrol advocate of these tragedies & voted out. We never should have let any survivor down by trusting you to do the right thing in the first place. #BlueWave2018. End
