Jessica Hughes

She was one of the girls in the limo with Dylan Klebold. She stated that Robyn Anderson and Dylan Klebold were holding hands. And she also told us what Dylan ate on 17th April 1999. Big salad, a seafood dash with shells and mussels.

Jessica and Dylan chatted about a party both planned to attend in a couple weeks, a reunion for kids who’d been in the gifted program in elementary school.”He was all excited to see everyone,” Jessica said.Dylan even agreed to bring pizza because he worked at Blackjack.

“There are basically two classes of people. There´s the low and the high. The low sticks together and the high sticks together, and the highmakes fun of the low you just deal with it.”
Jessica Hughes about Columbine High School

If you want to understand Dylan, consider this: in the high school hierarchy, with sports at the top, especially football, and the drama club at the bottom, Dylan was the “equipment manager” for the drama club. He ran the lights and sound at the plays. He was good at it, and really cared about it. But , other than the friends he had that were doing the same thing, he was not respected or admired for it. Columbine is and was Football and sports. No one else mattered. Straight A’s didn’t matter. Only sports. That was the environment established by the jock culture at the school, by the Principal and the coach teachers.

“I am black/white mixed. And when the media is coming up with this thing that Dylan and Eric were racist, they weren’t. They were my friends. They were very nice to me, both of them. I don’t get this whole racial thing that people are coming up with.”

I have a friend, he doesn’t dress like everybody else. He wears heavy metal band T-shirts, black shorts no matter what the weather, and a black hat, and he has long hair. And friends who normally just come up to me and talk to me and are so nice to me — when I’m around him, they give me looks. And people come up to me after I talk to him, they’re like, “How can you talk to him? How can you even acknowledge his presence?’ I’m like, “It’s simple, he’s nice.”

That was the same with Eric and Dylan. I knew both of them. I went bowling with them occasionally. And they were extremely nice. They never showed any signs that they’d like to go off and hurt people.

Talking to Dylan was like talking to a very intellectual person. He wasn’t a stupid kid. He’s a smart, intelligent kid. I just remember the conversation being at a level; that would you know, you’d sit there and you’d think, ‘Wow, this is a pretty high level conversation for a kid like this.’

Mag from Dylans Tec-9 with live rounds still in it.

TEC(-9)hnical Difficulties?

In regards to how many shots fired by Dylan:

9MM INTRA-TEC SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL MODEL TEC-DC9 [CBI 23/JCSO 903] 9MM MAGAZINES: 4 

Library West:
CBI 34/JCSO 1093 [Magazine with 3 Rounds],

Main Hallway:
CBI 30/JCSO 1859 [Broken Magazine and Frame/Spring],

Outside:
CBI 213/JCSO 2358 [50 Round Magazine with 40 Rounds],

BMW (Klebold):
CBI 991/JCSO 6004 [{36 Round} Magazine with 34 Rounds] – Found Between Driver’s Seat/Floor Board

As you can see Dylan was misplacing/dropping/having trouble with the magazines that day. In the basement tapes, Dylan states that he has a “50 round clip, two 36’s & a 24”

Well, 1 of the 36 round magazines was found in his BMW & the 50 round magazine was found on the grass outside on the hill where E&D had been.

34 rounds were found in the 36 round mag & 40 rounds were found in the 50 round mag = 74 live [not fired] rounds.

Dylan had shortchanged himself of over half of his 9mm ammo that day.

Also, Dylan fired 19 rounds from one spot in the Main Hallway, where a BROKEN magazine was found. There were no remaining rounds found in that magazine.

Therefore, sometime into the shooting, Dylan was down to only 1 working magazine.

thefuckingendlessjourney:

“When I first met Dylan, he was very shy. He dressed like a pretty normal kid: jeans, t-shirts. He liked computers more than other kids but besides that he was fairly normal. He didn’t know how to interact with people without another person there or something that he could talk about like a movie or music or something. But he was just kinda goofy, had a really sneaky sense of humor. And he was really morose and he’d make jokes about things that alot of people don’t make jokes about: about death and, about just really dark things. 

Dylan, the whole time I knew him, never had a girlfriend, and never talked about a girl he liked or anything. I mean, I know that there were girls he liked and you could tell when he talked to them or looked at them, but he never had a girlfriend or anything. That was never something we talked about. It wasn’t something he was comfortable talking about.

Dylan was very smart & you could just even tell by talking to him. His vocabulary was extensive. He was using alot of…high school kids just don’t use multi-syllable words.”

Nearly a year has passed since tragedy changed the Columbine community forever. A day that began innocently ended catastrophically. The healing process has moved slowly as we all attempt to cope, not only with our own despair, but also with the distractions and intrusions that result from world…
