suspicion that he supplied the TEC 9 semiautomatic to.
the two killers. Dylan and Eric came into contact.
with Manes through a mutual friend from the pizza.
parlor where they both worked. Investigators claimed.
that Klebold's girlfriend bought the rifle and the two.
shotguns used during the killings. Over thirty pipe.
bombs were handmade by Harris and Klebold for the day.
of the killing, which was the same day as Adolph.
Hitler's birthday. It is believed that the cause of.
the rampage is a direct effect of violent videogames.
such as Doom and hate websites from the Internet. A.
neighbor of Eric Harris reported that he heard the two.
smashing glass in the garage, which police confirmed.
as the shrapnel used in the bombs.
Why do such intelligent kids turn into.
cold-blooded murderers? The question is not easily.
answered, but some believe it has to do with the.
mechanics of biology and the homelife. Many.
conservatives say that experience rewires the brain. .
A child's brain is very vulnerable during the early.
years. Dr. Bruce Perry of Baylor College of Medicine.
says that "A child who suffers repeated 'hits' of.
stress-abuse, neglect, terror-experiences physical.
changes in his brain." Incessant flood of stress.
chemicals tend to reset the brain's system of.
fight-or-flight hormones, putting them on extreme.
alert. The results are kids who show impulsive.
aggression, which can lead to dangerous consequences. .
Having an unsuppotive and abusive parent also raises.
the risk of teen violence. For the most part, parents.
who are withdrawn and remote, neglectful and passive,.
are the main reasons for a child to be overcome with.
stress. As for the parents of Dylan Klebold and Eric.
Harris, a police search of Harris's room yielded a.
sawed off shotgun and pipe bomb ingredients in plain.
view. They also recovered a diary detailing the.
twisted plans of the massacre, including calculations.
as to the time of day that would yield the highest.
body count.
