Synopsis
Dawn Anna Townsend is the mother of Lauren Townsend who was killed in the Columbine massacre. Recently she spoke at a Pennsylvania high school and she had some interesting things to say...

"They hated everybody," Townsend said about the gunmen who killed her daughter. "They hated her (Lauren Townsend) because she breathed and that she was in their way."

Townsend said one of the inaccurate reports that came out of the Columbine massacre was that the two murderers were retaliating against athletes who picked on them.

"They (the killers) were the bullies," Townsend said.
