Columbine High School massacre is the fourth-deadliest school killing in United States history. On April 20, 1999, in a small Jefferson County, Colorado, two high-school seniors, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, enacted an assault on Columbine High School during the middle of the school day. The boys' plan was to kill hundreds of their peers. With guns, knives, and a great number of bombs, the two boys walked the hallways and killed. As a result, twelve students, one teacher, and the two murderers were dead.
In response to the massacres, schools across the United States instituted not only new anti-bully policies as well as so-called "zero tolerance" approaches to weapons and threatening behavior but also security measures including see-through backpacks, metal detectors, and security guards. Moreover, the shooting resulted in calls for more gun control measures. These were regarded as the Columbine effects.
