Students and faculty freed from the school try to comes to terms with what's happened. Friends find friends to draw emotional strength from while they wait to be reunited with their families.

Parents are reunited with their distraught children outside of Columbine, at Leawood Elementary and at the Littleton Public Library. These are the lucky ones; those who get to hug their loved ones at the end of the day.

Students injured during the shootings receive medical attention at the triage center set up across the street from the school. From there the seriously injured are transported to medical centers all over Denver.
