[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3765972, member: 45773"] Not the first newsworthy story for me, but the first really big story I was a very small part of. Today is the 23rd anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting. I worked for Littleton PD at the time. Even though the school was just outside the city the entire PD responded. I had worked a night shift and just got home 45 mins away when my pager went off. Headed back down, couldn't get close to the school, so went to the PD. They didn't have anyone working the districts so I stayed and worked patrol for almost another 18 hours. I don't recall getting a single call...the city was eerily quiet all that day and all night with almost no one out. I had more people come up to me and thank me for being a police officer on that day than I did every day combined for my entire career. I went inside the school the early the next morning to escort one of our evidence techs. To say it was horrific would be a gross understatement. That incident sure changed a lot about how we responded to active shooters. [/QUOTE]
