Susan Klebold Breaks Her silence To O Magazine
October 14, 2009
Susan Klebold, the mother of Columbine killer Dylan Klebold (pictured above), is breaking her silence after trying so desperately all these years to find answers and insight into why her son did what he did that dreadful day 10 years ago.
This week, for the first time since the incident, she opens up in an essay she wrote for Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine.
In her essay she writes:
“For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused. I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son’s schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives. Dylan changed everything I believed about myself, about God, about family, and about love.”
She even goes back to that morning that Dylan left for the last time, the morning of the shooting:
“Early on April 20, I was getting dressed for work when I heard Dylan bound down the stairs and open the front door. Wondering why he was in such a hurry when he could have slept another 20 minutes, I poked my head out of the bedroom. ‘Dyl? ‘ All he said was ‘Bye.’ The front door slammed, and his car sped down the driveway. His voice had sounded sharp. I figured he was mad because he’d had to get up early to give someone a lift to class. I had no idea that I had just heard his voice for the last time.”
Dylan, who was 17 at the time and Eric Harris, who was 18 at the time, killed 12 students and wounding 23 others before killing themselves in the library of their school.
