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. They included mental health professionals
who worked with Columbine survivors, funeral home staff, students
and teachers.
