S1l"MMARY OF STAT1!MEN'l'
On 4-20-99-Tuesday, at approximately 1430 hours, I received a call to
respond to Columbine High Sehool-62Q1 S. Pierce St. on a
shooting/Homicidewith multiple victims. My role was to coordinate the
Denver police Homicide Unit-Team 70 and assist Jefferson County with
the crime scene. we stood by in Clement Park for directions. At
2300hrs I was dismissed and asked to return the following day-4-21-
99-Wednesday.
on 4-21-99 Sgt. Fetrow along with a Homicide Team responded to
Columbine High School again at 0600hrs. Our responsibility was to stand
by and wait for assignments. At approximately 1400hrs we 'eere escorted
into the crime scene to appraise the situation. At approximately
1500hrs we received our assignments and entered the crime scene. Our
job was to process the office area in the main hallway. Inside the
office were mUltiple shell casings, live rounds. magazines (clips),
broken glass, brcken furniture, bullet holes and other collateral
damage. We processed the scene with the crime scene detectives. My
job was to oversee the coordination of the crime scene. We secured
from the scene at 2200hrs.
on 4-21-99 at 2300hrs Sgt. Fetrow was contacted by Capt. Leary to
assign Homicide Detectives to assist at the following morgues for
autopsies, Denver Health Medical Center, Boulder County, Jefferson
County, and Arapahoe County. The autopsies would be conducted the
following day at OBOOhrs on 4-22-99.

On 4-22-99 at OBOOhrs Sgt. Fetrow responded to the scene to assist in

Jefferson County Sheriff's Department that they also needed our crime
lab to process the autopsies. The crime lab teams were assigned by
Sgt. Reed and they left the school for the morgues. Due to a lack of
crime scene personnel, the Homicide detectives withdrew from the scene
and responded to Denver Police Headquarters.

COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL 1331 CHEFIOKEE ST. NARCOTICS BUREAU

Shortly after noon on April 20, 1999, I received a call over the police radio from Del. J Ruetz. Det.
Ruetz stated he had received information from Lt. 0 Cribari and Sgt. E Martinez there was a hostage
situation at the Columbine High School, at South Pierce and West Bowles. and to reportto the
Command Post that had been set up. The purpose was to provide whatever technical support might
be needed.

While enroute to the Command Post (CP) I was again called on the radio by Del. J Ruetz and was
tnld there was quite a traffic jam of emergency vehicles, and to park my car at Pierce and Bowles and
valk the rest of the way to the CP.

Upon my arrival at the CP I checkedwith my partner Det. J Ruetz and was briefed by him. A short
time latter I was contacted by a Littleton Policeofficer and was asked if I could assist in running four
(4) "Iandline" phone lines Into the Arapahoe County SO mobile command post. While Det, J Ruetz
and another Denver PD Tech Detective K Rich located available "pairs" working numbers in the cross
box I made the connections to the Arapahoe County SO (ACSO} mobile command post and verified
the phones worked inside the van.

While making the connections to the ACSO mobile command post I was contacted by Del. D Metzler
of the Denver PD and asked if we (Myself, Del. J Ruetz and Del. K Rich} could also connect four (4)
"landlins" phones lines to the Denver Police Department mobile command post. This was
accomplished.

When the lines were no longer needed the landlines were disconnected and the customers whose
lines were used were returned to their original condition and the customers notified what had been
done.

While this was being done a US West technician arrived at the scene and assisted detectives in the
installation and removal of the lines.
I have read the foregoing statement and the facts contained therein are true to the best ofmy knowledge and belief I do
. ·t maintain that it contains aUof the facts or details ofthe incident, but only thosefacts about which I have been asked.

SUBJECT: Shooting at Columbine Higb Scheel

On this datewhile at District d, I was listening to the situation goingon at the high school. Our clerk
OfficerJohn Lietz was talking to Matt Depew who was a student at the school on a cell phone. John
was alsotalkingto Jefferson County Sheriff. I assistedill taking to JeffCo. I was then asked to set
up channel SAas a backup to the dispatcher. I began taking car assignments and assisting in making
telephonecalls to variousagencies. Once a regular dispatcher was 011 channel I was relieved.

Sergeant Barker and myself then responded to the command post at Bowels and Pierce. At tha;
time we wereassigned to assist in the removal of studeIlls still in the school. We were assigned to
Fair and Peirce with Captain Lujan. We assisted in loading two school buses of students and
teachers that were the last taken from the school.

Once relivedofthat duty we were relieved by CaptainLujan and finally by CaptainSandoval.

CORRESPONDENCE

TO: Sgt. D. Jones

FROM: Det. J. Hess #770! 0, District #4 Criminal Investigation

DATE: April 20, 1999

SUBJECT: Columbine High School

On this date, a call of help came out from Lakewood and Jefferson County on
shots fired at Columbine High School, Detective Jude and Hess responded to the
area of the Command Post at Lehigh and Pierce.

Detective Hess was assigned to stay with an ambulance and go with them to get
any victims, and then to stay with them when they were taken to the hospital.
Statements would be taken from the victims, clothing would be taken, and
whatever else would be done that needed to be done, during the course of this
investigation.

Det. Hess was 'assigned to Rescue #13, of Littleton Fire Department. The Littleton
Fire Personnel were Captain Mark Gorman, Captain Jim Olsen, and EMT Jerry
Losasso. Their phone number is 303-795-3800.

At about 1445 hours, the crew of ambulance #13 was told to go to the entry way of
the high school, which was closest to the street intersection of Pierce and Fair, and
to get ready to go in to get wounded parties. The Swat units would take the crew
in. Later it was related that the Swat Units would be bringing wounded to the crew
at that location. As the crew and Detective Hess stood by, there were numerous
tunes when they were told to get ready to go in, however it was always stopped
due to possible danger to the paramedics. The building had apparently not been
cleared. Some of the victims were being taken out of other doors of the school.
Several different groups of students were found and were being taken out of the
entry way where ambulance #13 was located. The Swat Units teak control of
those students. All of the students and teachers were told to put their hands on
their heads, until they could be checked. Word had been received that the suspects
had changed clothes with some of the students, in an attempt to get away.
Approximately 150 parties carne out of the school at that location.

It was determined that there were no more wounded victims inside of the school,
and that all of the parties that were left, were deed. Apparently two of the dead
were suspects and they had possibly killed themselves.

It was determined that the ambulance crew would not be needed any longer, at
which time Detective Hess returned to the Command Post. Detective Hess was
advised that he could leave, and rerum to District #4.

were brought from the schooL I took command of the non-uniform
personnel and directed them to various locations aro\h~d the scene.
Det. Arellano kept a list of all Detectives and their assignments.
