PHOTO: Morgan Spiehs / News21 Paula Reed -- a Public Insight Network source -- was a teacher at Columbine High School during the 1999 shooting. Our reporters struggled to find sources 15 years after the shooting who were not mentioned in prior reporting. We found Paula, as well as others in Colorado and other states who had direct ties to Columbine.
