ABC News announced today that Diane Sawyer will conduct the first-ever television interview with the mother of one of the Columbine shooters.
On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and his friend Eric Harris murdered twelve students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado and wounded 24 others before they killed themselves.
16 years ago, Sue Klebold’s son Dylan walked into Columbine High School, killed thirteen people and then himself.
ABC will present the interview in a one-hour special about school shootings, their lasting impact and possible steps to prevent such violence.
Sue Klebold has said the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings convinced her to share her story.

Sue Klebold is donating all of her profits from the book to charitable foundations that address mental health issues.
