R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately convey the deep shock and
1-2 sorrow felt by all Texans, and those across the nation, at the
1-3 tragic loss of life that has occurred in Littleton, Colorado; and
1-4 WHEREAS, At approximately 11:30 a.m., on April 20, 1999, two
1-5 heavily armed students at Columbine High School entered the school
1-6 grounds and began firing at people; by the time the shooting had
1-7 ended, the gunmen had killed more than a dozen and wounded at least
1-8 23 people, most of them fellow students, before taking their own
1-9 lives in the school library; and
1-10 WHEREAS, The loss of so many young lives has created a void
1-11 that can never be filled for survivors and their families; our
1-12 thoughts and prayers are with them on this solemn day, and it is
1-13 fitting at this time that we remember the individuals who were
1-14 killed or injured in this tragic event; now, therefore, be it
1-15 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-16 Legislature hereby honor the memory of the students and teachers of
1-17 Columbine High School who lost their lives in this horrific event
1-18 and extend deepest sympathy to all those whose lives have been
1-19 profoundly affected by this tragedy; and, be it further
1-20 RESOLVED, That when the Texas House of Representatives
1-21 adjourns this day, it do so in memory of the innocent victims who
1-22 died in the Littleton, Colorado, shooting.
