Oprah Pulls Columbine Tragedy Anniversary Special
20 April 2009 3:05 PM, PDT

Oprah Winfrey has cancelled a TV special to mark the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre out of respect for the victims and their families.

Twelve students and a teacher were killed when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went on a killing spree at the Littleton, Colorado school in 1999, before committing suicide, and Winfrey had planned to mark the tragic date with a show dedicated to the tragedy.

But, in a post on her website, she explains the show, which was to air in the U.S. on Monday, has been scrapped.

She writes, "After reviewing it, I thought it focused too much on the killers.

"Today, hold a thought for the Columbine community. This is a hard day for them."

This year will also be the 10 year class reunion for the Columbine seniors who graduated in 1999. How morbid will THAT reunion be? :eek:

She could have just edited it. Plus, as politically incorrect as it is to say, "the killers" were part of the tragedy, too.

She should have gone ahead with it.
