"The Worst Day Of My Life": 25 Years Since Columbine, A Survivor Remembers
Listen now
Description
On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold gunned down twelve students and one teacher—at that time, this was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings across the country, with 1 in 4 public school teachers saying they have been in a gun-related lockdown in the past year. Last week, the parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley were sentenced to at least a decade in prison for missing opportunities to prevent the 2021 massacre. Columbine survivor and advocate Craig Scott joins the Rundown to reflect on 25 years since the infamous shooting, bring attention to his sister Rachel Scott's story, and share how to prevent future incidents. The House Select Committee on China held a hearing this past Tuesday, sharing their findings that China is creating financial incentives for companies to create precursor chemicals in the manufacturing of fentanyl. Former Attorney General Bill Barr was among those testifying, and he stated that he was not surprised by the committee's findings. Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA-6) and Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA-2) join the podcast to discuss the need for bipartisan action on the fentanyl crisis, how Congress can take action against China, and explain how Mexico impacts the flow of the drug.
