Craig Scott Reflects On The Columbine Shooting Nearly 20 Years Later | Survivor Stories | TODAY

How could it not! His two friends were killed in front of him, and he didn’t even get shot. And then once they had a chance to escape, the sight was probably too grisly for words. I’m sure as a survivor who didn’t even get hurt, he probably feels or felt that he should have been shot as well or instead of Matt and Isaiah. What a terrible thought to live with.. That’s gotta bother him, the fact that the shooters didn’t see him because of his position under the table. But I’m sure he’s glad that his parents didn’t lose 2 children that day. There were some 40+ kids in the library at the time, and only 8 or so were killed (can’t remember the exact number.) That’s a lot of witnesses. I can only imagine what that was like.. especially since the shooters were laughing and joking the entire time.

I saw a picture of her looking very serious and then she smiled and I wondered what she was thinking at that moment! She was very pretty and smart. Craig Scott cheated death but he didn't escape the aftermath of Columbine and what happened to several other students. Darrell Scott has a story to tell its called The Untold story Of Columbine and the Story Of Rachel Scott on you tube! Its very powerful and moving. When Craig Scott ran out of the library he passed his sister's dead body! He didn't see her! I would like to meet Craig Scott and I hope he comes to VA and talk about his experience of Columbine and the other part of me says "Leave this man alone!" he has been through a lot!"

The interview of Isaiah's dad and Craig as a kid broke me ... i wish someone would tell me where this father is at ...

[@rachellebutterfield3894]

He came to my school over 10 years ago. I cried through the entire thing! Very powerful! It impacted me and it has impacted millions of others!

[@lexyliebe7782]

I remember when he came to my middle school when I was in the 5th or 6th grade and his presentation touched me. I feel for him and the strength he and his family have to share her story and make an impact

[@katscratchfever3506]

I remember Craig and his mother coming to my middle school many many years ago (I’m 36 now) and to know he’s still doing this great work is inspiring. I just pray he’s found some peace in all of this.

[@sml_photography]

I love this. I love how he is turning something so tragic into something so good to prevent this and spread kindness. Bless you Rachel!

[@colleenspiess4304]

So sorry for your loss but I'm proud of you for keeping your sister's memory alive with what your doing since your a brave person and I know rachel is proud of you

[@kateelizabeth4278]

The part with Isaiah's father shredded my heart. When he grabbed Craig's hand...

[@emmaconway4020]

I was at school today and we had and Assembly and he shared his story and my friends started crying so did I this story touched my heart. I will think about your sisters last words I know it’s hard to keep sharing and I think your sister would do the same thing for you.

21 years ago to this day rip to all the victims ❤

[@nhrants4700]

He came to my high school in 2015. Very moving presentation. Everyone in my school cried

Rachel,s challenge has reached the United kingdom, keep going Craig, rip Rachel

[@Kari2025]

This April 20th will be 20 years. Unreal.

[@StatProSports]

Craig came to my school in New York back in the mid-2000s. He did such an incredible job that I caught two of his talks. God bless you, man.

[@mynameissarah5117]

Lost his sister. Witnessed numerous classmates get murdered, including two friends right next to him. Had to lie in the blood of his friends whose deaths he just witnessed so he wouldn't be the next one to die. I wouldn't wish this on any adult, let alone a sixteen-year-old kid.

[@imnotyourmother7160]

Craig Scott actually came to my school today. It was an amazing speech. Thank you Craig.

[@prima6170]

Thank you for carrying on with your sister's story. Her message is very important. Maybe one day we can learn to treat everybody with kindness.

[@rachael7973]

when a family friend of the Scotts came to my school..there was so many tears on so many people, including me, you could just see the impact..we were all just hanging on each other, crying, and after it was over, we were hugging all our friends all day and for like a month we treated every moment like it was the last one together..it's a very powerful thing..

[@tyler-jbrown]

This is honestly a beautiful video may the 13 who tragically lost their lives rest in peace, and the 2 shooters find peace and forgiveness

[@danielleevans3323]

This made me cry and reach out to a loved one I've been mistreating. I am letting them know how much they mean to me as he stated. So powerful. #RIP

[@TerminusOmega13]

I cannot think of anyone who suffered more that day than Craig. To see two of his friends killed and then find out his sister was killed as well had to be devastating. I cannot imagine the grief he felt in the days that followed.

[@leeknievel748]

Uhh he was a bully and also was always mean to his sister

[@HealthySchoolsMember]

Keep up the good work! I met your friend Mike Donahue the other day. He flew down to Florida to present to our Mental Health Leadership team. He seems like such a great guy. I shared with him my story about being one of our "fallen Eagles" former science teacher. We absolutely must do what we can to make whatever positive impact we can in the name of those we lost. Kudos to you for doing this!

[@fitz_possible]

Craig came to my school in 2019 and I am glad he keeps telling his sister's story.

[@leslycakes3167]

I just want to cry, I can't anymore I hate that this is how we live now. And 20 years later we have threats to schools here in Colorado.

[@cailynjoy8129]

my old school had threats every other month and they found a gun in the teachers lounge. i can’t believe we still have this problem

[@antihackergrlnow]

Hang in there craig! I know it's hard to lose someone that close to you, I've been through a similar tragedy myself in my past, and I was never totally the same again. Your sister is an angel, I think there is a very special place in the heavens for her and she wants you to be at peace! I remember the day this happened too, I wasn't living in Colorado I was in texas at the time but I work and go to school in Denver now. I've seen the memorial but I've never bothered to set foot on the school because they kick people off, when new people go over to that school but I will say this tragedy is one of the tragedies that drove me to study criminal law, and psychology, which is what I study now at home in my free time. I will pray for this guy, because I honestly didn't know it haunted him that badly. I know it's hard to lose a loved one, I've lost a lot of them, and I will say that it does make you think differently about life, it makes you greatful for the small things in life.

[@heidismith5943]

I love everything about Craig Scott tbh. I complain and mentally cry over a zit on my face when this guy lost ‘it all ;‘ soda speak and probably had or still has the worst PsD ever from almost dying and watching his friends take their last breaths right in front of him . What a true hero to say I am going to make good out of this horrible situation for the past 20 years of his life almost . ❤️❤️

[@blessedbeyondmeasure8234]

I think everyone loves Carig because he does Gods work and God speaks through him.

[@ruby3976]

He came to my school today and talked, he said the same exact thing. It was the most heartbreaking thing ever 💔

[@firdouskhan6092]

I never ever tear up for anything on tv but this gave me tears . Rip to all the innocent people

[@maggiebuehler8484]

This tragedy has consumed his life not fair to have to go through it and to lose his sister

[@gracieeee_]

She is aware of her story. She’s looking down on him and I’m sure she’s so proud

[@TheZachh]

I truly feel for Craig and his family. I cannot imagine the horror of that day.. but I remember how it changed everything about the America and our school system. Check out the song "The Kinslayer" by Nightwish, it's a powerful song written about Columbine.

[@courtneygrier2015]

I love Nightwish! I've only been a fan for a few years. Never knew that about The Kinslayer. I will have to listen to it again.

[@AnthonyD1986]

The father holding his hand is a beautiful thing.

[@FDguy343]

You probably won’t even see this message man but I just wanted you to know anyways that you brought me to tears man. I don’t even know you but I am certain that I love you bro. I feel a connection with you and your words tore me to pieces. I can’t image how you must have and still feel. When you share the same hard story over and over. Just want you to know that you will have my respect forever and thank you for sharing your testimony with the rest of us. *Nice job little bro*

WE LOVE YOU REST IN PEACE 21 YEARS AGO YOU TURNED INTO ANGELS💓👼🏻🦋

[@castlevaniaskeletor5598]

I remember when the Rachael’s Challenge program came to my school- we all were touched. Our principal had us sign a sheet and gave us a stern talk. He said “if you really are going to follow Rachael’s challenge then you will show compassion, start a journal and do it every day.” Me being a rebellious 4th grader scoffed and didn’t think about it again. Now I look back and somehow without me even knowing it I started a journal and made more friends with my newfound compassion. I unknowing followed Racheal’s challenge. That’s something.

[@jazxx9390]

I watched / read a lot about columbine over the years. Whenever I see Craig I just feel his pain looking at his face . I can’t imagine what he has been through loosing his friends and then finding out his sister died . What a strong man ❤️

[@Adam-qv2bd]

Wow, that interview is extremely raw and touching.

[@brigon7726]

I am so close to my brother. Just thinking about losing him like this.. or even losing him breaks my heart. He is so strong.
