[QUOTE]Originally posted by Xentrick: [QB] actually, there were bomb-related injuries, though none fatal. These also go to the "intent" argument: If they couldn't get any guns, would they have used more bombs? Excerpts from contemporary sources: Surgeons work through night By Ginny McKibben Denver Post Staff Writer April 22 - Surgeons at six area hospitals worked through the night Tuesday to save the lives and preserve the futures of 22 students wounded in the worst school shooting in U.S. history� �Mark and Shari Schnurr said their 18-year-old daughter, Valeen Schnurr, was thankful for the prayers she received. She had nine shrapnel wounds in her chest� �The descriptions of wounds suffered by students indeed sounded like the result of warfare: Chests impaled with shrapnel� Homemade bombs cheap, easy to build By David Olinger Denver Post Staff Writer April 23 - The crude bombs that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris carried into Columbine High School could have been assembled in an afternoon with less than $200 worth of materials, according to a federal official at the crime scene. These were very simple devices,'' said Larry Bettendorf, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent assigned to the case. "If you had all of your components all ready, you could probably assemble these in a couple of hours.'' [description of 20-pound gas bomb follows] �According to Bettendorf, all the other bombs found inside the school were much smaller - encased either in CO2 cylinders, which are sold at sporting goods stores, or in short sections of galvanized steel pipe, sold at hardware stores. The galvanized pipes, about 6 inches long, "are already threaded on both ends, and you can buy the end caps'' at a hardware store as well, he said. Their fuses were "just simple cannon fuse'' sold by the roll at sporting goods and hobby stores, and set to explode with ease, he said. "Strike-anywhere-type of matches were already taped to the fuses.'' [/QB][/QUOTE]
