May 3, 2000 Time of Columbine Deaths Reported A.P. INDEXES: TOP STORIES | NEWS | SPORTS | BUSINESS | TECHNOLOGY | ENTERTAINMENT Filed at 1:49 a.m. EDT By The Associated Press DENVER (AP) -- All the people killed by gunmen inside Columbine High School were dead by the time the first SWAT team reached the school's library even though authorities knew hours earlier from a teacher's 911 call that the gunmen were firing outside the library. The call from teacher Patti Nielson is part of a timeline of events that ABC's ``World News Tonight�� reported Tuesday. The network said its story was based on a draft report on the April 20, 1999, shootings being developed by the Jefferson County Sheriff�s Office. The document has not been released to the public. Victims' families have complained about how long it has taken the sheriff to complete the report and have sued to force its release. A judge has given the department until May 15 to release the final report on the shootings that left 13 people and the student gunmen dead and 26 others wounded. Nine lawsuits representing the families of those slain and wounded in the country's deadliest school shooting have been filed against the sheriff's office. The timeline could serve as evidence for the families if it backs their claims that some of the victims might have been saved if they had gotten medical help sooner. According to ABC, which did not say how it obtained the information, the timeline begins with the gunmen, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, appearing outside the school at 11:19 a.m. One of them yelled ``Go! Go!�� and five students were shot immediately. Two of those students died. Then the gunmen roamed around the school shooting through doors and windows and throwing homemade bombs on the roof, the network said. The sheriff's deputy assigned to the school, who was just finishing his lunch, exchanged shots with Harris, according to the timeline. Harris fired at him 10 times with a rifle before it jammed. While the deputy distracted the gunmen, teacher Dave Sanders herded hundreds of students out of the cafeteria. Another sheriff's deputy arrived and traded shots with Harris, according to the report. The gunmen went back into the school where they shot Sanders outside the library. Inside Nielson called 911 from a phone in the library and told the operator there were students inside the library and the gunmen were right outside. The operator told her and the students to remain in there and that police, paramedics and firefighters were on the way. But the gunmen entered the library four minutes after the call and began ordering the students to get up, according to the report. Over the next seven minutes, the draft report says, 22 students were wounded or shot. The gunmen then killed themselves. The first SWAT team to arrive at the library got there more than three hours later after working their way through the large school building. By then, 10 students and Sanders were dead. Zerg's Website
