did eric and dylan use their knives?
before you start to read I would like to say that I worked pretty hard on this, it took me a while and I would greatly appreciate it if you reblogged it. thanks :))
If you know a good amount about Columbine then you know that Eric and Dylan brought knives with them when they committed the massacre. It has been said that the two did not use their knives during the whole ordeal. Well, they didn’t kill anybody with them but did they use them for other purposes?
In my spare time I like to read the 11k report. This is over eleven thousand pages of witness accounts, transcripts, and many other police documents regarding the Columbine massacre. While reading this I came across one witness account that interested me.
This is Daniel Steepleton. He was present in the library during the shooting and suffered from a gunshot wound to his knee. He provided some interesting information that I don’t think has been talked about.
After Eric and Dylan had attacked him and the students he was hiding with, Steepleton recalls hearing the following incident:
“Steepleton then heard one of the suspects say, ‘Stand up nigger boy!’. The suspects were laughing. Steepleton then heard gunfire immediately after this statement.”
This would be the death of Isaiah Shoels. Here comes the interesting part.
“He could hear the suspects laughing. One suspect said, ‘Let me see your knife, I’ve always wanted to do this’. Steepleton stated when he heard the comment, he thought the suspects were cutting up a dead person because he heard no screaming after the statement. He then heard one of the suspects say, ‘Oh, that’s gross’. The two suspects then laughed. Steepleton could not say which suspects made which comment.”
This gives us the idea that knives were used and maybe on the corpse of Isaiah Shoels. I’m not going to just assume that this is correct so I examined Isaiah’s autopsy report.
In the report, it states that:
“Located in the posterior (back) aspect of the left upper triceps area is an irregular, oval defect in the skin which measures 4.3 x 4 cm. The skin margins are ragged and irregular skin tags caused by small secondary skin lacerations.”
You might be thinking ‘Huh?’. Well, let me explain.
What the report is stating is that Isaiah had small lacerations on his body.
A laceration is defined as ‘a deep cut or tear in skin or flesh’.
This clearly states that cuts were present on Isaiah’s body! If you read further on, the autopsy states that he also had at least one more of these wounds.
This backs up the theory that Eric and Dylan did use their knives during the massacre.
^^ daniel steepleton’s account of the situation
^^ isaiah’s autopsy report.
please note that this is only a theory and has not been proven!
