      Columbine was the start of the modern school shooting phenomenon. To this date mass shooters, even outside of school settings, follow the blueprint they started in the 1999 assualt of a school. The tactics, motivation, and planning for Columbine seperates it from more than most of the previous civilian gun violence, and the mass shooters that follow look more like the Columbine shooters than they look like the shooters who came before them.
