*********************.********************~*********** * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On 5/12/99 I interviewed 16 year old CHS student Christopher Therrienat his home in Littleton, Co. Chris's step-mother was present during

this interview.

Chris stated he was outside the cafeteria near the south west corner

of the huilding around 11:25am. He has 5th hour free, but usually

meets friends in the cafeteria to have lunch. On 4/20/99 he left MrBundy's math class at 11:15am and walked to the cafeteria, where he

met friends Brian Fry and Bijen Mcnte. Chris did net recall seeingany unusually large duffle bags in the cafeteria, or anyone carrying

a large duffle bag that day, or the previous day.

They walked outside through the SQuth doors of the cafeteria, talkingabout going up to the soccer fields to eat. Towards the corner ofthe building, Bijen sat down on the grass and wanted to eat her lunch

there. Chris placed ill marked where he and his friends were standingon the drawing r provided for him, which depicted the cafeteria and

tables inside. He recalled facing east, talking to Bijen who had satdown on the grass.

Chris heard popping noises, coming from the north. He immediatelythought they were firecrackers, and it was a senior prank. He turned

to look, and saw Lancs Kirklin fall down about 5-6 yrds from where he

stood. Then he saw a second kid fall down a few yrds west of Lance.

Chris then saw a female fall down directly west of where he stood,

about S yrds. He saw blood on the female. At this same time, Chris

saw a tall (';'1") white male, black cap, large nose, shoulder length

1 JC-001. 001203

hair, black trenchcoat carrying a black 1 1/2 foot long gun, with a

"bullet clip" on the underside of the gun. Chris J:>elieved he was

about 15 yrds from this person, as the person was walking alone down

the outside steps on the north side of the cafeteria.

Chris stated they ran into the cafeteria through a south door. When

he got inside, people were standing looking out the windows. Someone

yelled 'get down', but Chris remained standing and running for the

inside cafeteria steps. He stated he and Brian were up the stairs

'very quickly'. As they ran past a science room, a teacher who was

unaware what was going on, told Chris to stop running. They

continued running through the south hallway planning to inform the

administration. The hallways were empty at this time. They turned

to the north, near the math dept. heading for the administration.

When they reached the north hallway, across from the administration,

Chris stopped because he heard more gunfire down the hall to the

west. The shots were being fired in his direction, ricocheting off

the lockers in the hall. He described the sound as a loud

ricocheting noise, much more rapid than the gunfire he heard outside.

He and Brian ran across the hall into the administration. He did not

see the person who was firing the weapon upstairs, and could not say

how far away they were. As he and Brian entered the administration

area, the principle was coming out and heading towards the west,

Where the gunfire was coming from. Chris, Brian, several students in

the administration area and many faculty members exited the school

north of the principle' .. office. Chris did not ..ee. any gunman, or

suspicions people outside the scbool when he exited.

He ran to Clement Park and was later picked up by a female student he

did not know. They drove to Brian's house and called family.

Chris had no further information on the shootings, and had little

knowledge of the TO!. He had heard of them, and seen them around

school, but did not know any of them.

stated that the picture he saw was of and he was

"pretty sure" he was the shooter he saw that morning at CRS. I

SCheduled an interview with Chris at his home on 5/24/99, and advised

him I wanted him to look at a photo line up. He agreed to this.

On 5(24/99 I interviewed Chris Therrien at his home in Littleton, Co.

Ris step mother, Carol Therrien was present for this interview.

I asked Chris what events lead up to him looking at a picture of

and calling me on 5/20/99. Re stated that on 5/18/99

At about 11:20am VITALE said he had caught a ride with Trent KARNES, andanotherpassenger, MindyPOLLOCK. He described KARNES' car as beinga small redtwo-door and that it WlIS older, but could not provide a make or model. He furtherdescribedKARNES' car was parked in what he thoughtwas his assigned space on thesouth side of the senior lot, nose in towardthe wooden privacy fence facing thebackyards of the homes. As he got into the backseathe heardwhatsoundedlikefireworks coming fromthe area of the scacol.

As VITALE turnedaroundand lookedback towards the schoolhe saw a white malestandingat the top of the stairs,just north of the cafeteria/library area.

hadnotknown his name priorto the shooting.

During thissametimeperiodhe sawa male student running up thegrassyhill to thenorth I westin an apparent attemptto fleeas he hadredonhispant leg,possibly bloodsoaked.

After abouttwa minutes TrentKARNES to drive from the lot. AfterKARNESbacked aut of thespace VITALE said he looked backat the school andsawwhat hedescribed as a "thirdshooter." vrrALE described this person similarto thatwhichbehadof thefirstperson. Thishe described was a white male wearing a whiteshirtandblackpants, but could notdescribe himfurther, other than he wassureit wasn'tKLEBOLD. Heexplained that this person was holding what he thought was a shotgun asit had a "slide pump thing." He described thisperson was standing alongside the wallnext to the single door on thewestsideof thecafeteria. just below the stairs.

VITALE saidhe could noteliminate the possibility that this third person may havebeen thesameperson he sawshooting at the topof thestairs. He could notconfirm hishaving seen all three of the suspects at thesametime. Heexplained thinking it wouldhavebeen impossible for thepersonat the tap of thestairs to "jump the fence" and rundown to this location in the briefamount of timefrom whenhe initially sawhim. He alsofeltsure thatthe person at the topof thestairs was holding a much largerlonggun thanthe shotgun type weapon held by the person by thedoor.

vrrALE said prior to the incident he knew HARRIS by name, andagainknewKLEBOLD onlyon sightas a student at Columbine HighSchool. Hedescribed thatHARRIS had an ongoing conflict with a friend of his, Cale KENNEDY. He furtherdescribed thissaying the two occasionally exchanged fighting type words as theycrossedin the hallways. Headded that he couldnot sufficiently see the suspect at the topof thestairs due to thisperson beingpartially turned toward theschool, awayfromhim,andthusdid notknow if it wasHARRIS. He also could nat identify the person standingbeside thedoors of tile cafeteria due to his vanragepcint, -

As they drove from the parking lot he said hehadseena student-aged boy laying onthe pavement in the parking lot, next to the handicapped parking spaces. He said thisperson was not moving, andwas facing away from themso he couldnot provide anyfurther description.

OnMay 11, 1999 at about4:30pmI escorted VITALE to the Senior Parking Lot tothearea where he thought theyhad been parked at the time. This was due to his inabilityto discern theexact locations on the small diagram of theschool. VITALE pointed outthe areas described above.

On April 27, 1999, Christopher Howard Wisher, date ofbirth March 19, 1983, of 6572 West Calhoun Place, Littleton,Colorado, telephone nu~ber (303)730-2530, was interviewed at hisresidence in the presence of his father, Howard E. Wisher, dateof birth April 12, 1949. After advisement of the identity of theinterviewing agent and the nature of the interview, he providedthe following information:

Wisher is a sophomore at Columbine High School. Henormally eats lunch during fourth period, whioh he has free, andat the end of the period at 11:10, he and his friends normally gooutside. On April 20, 1999, just pr~or to the 11:15 bell, he andhis friends, Jake ~~odaca, Josh Chavez and John [Last NameUnknown] were sitting at a table inside the cafeteria near thesouth window, which faces a parkins lot.

Wisher saw Dylan Klebold walk into the southwestentrance to the cafeteria from the parking lat. He was dressedall in black, with black trousers, black shirt, black boots, ablack trenchcoat and a black Colorado Avalanche hat wornbackwards, which had a Boston Red Sox emblem sewn on it. Wisherdoes not recall Klehold carrying anything, and saw him walk overto the vending machines in the cafeteria.

According to Wisher, during lunch, Klebold and EricHarris would normally s~t in Klebold's BMW in the parking lot onthe south slde of the cafeteria and watch people. Wisher onlyknows Klebold and Harris by sight.

After the 11:15 bell, Wisher and his friends walked outof the southwest exit of the cafeteria, towards the soccer f~eld.

He heard a sound which sounded like fireworks, similar to astring of Blackcat firecrackers going off. [Wisher indicatedthat prior to Apr~l 20, 1999, he had never heard gunfire]. Abcut50 yards away, outside on the west side of the cafeteria, he sawa tall white male, dressed all in black, with a black trenchcoat,and what he thinks was a black hat and dark sunglasses. At thetime, he did nat recognize this person, but thought it might be~ , a member of the Trenchooat Mafia who is about the

ame height and build.

2999 Page---Howard Wisher

Wisher saw this person shoot at three students near thesouthwest corner of the cafeteria with what he thinks was ashotgun, based upon the loud noise and the slower rate of fire.This shooter then pointed the shotgun at Wisher and his friendsand fired four or five shots at them. wisher and his friendsfell to the ground and covered their heads. When Wisher lookedup, he saw the gunman walking tcwards the southwest cafeteriaentrance.

Wisher also saw a white male dressed in a white short­sleeved tee shirt and blue jeans, kneeling with his back to himnear the northwest corner of the cafeteria. He did not recognizethis person, and since his back was to him, could only tell hehad either light bro~~ or blond hair. This perscn had no weaponnor other gear visible.

Wisher saw this person throw an object one-handed ontop of the cafeteria/library roof. It appeared metallic withsunlight glinting off of it, and one to two seconds after landingit exploded with a loud bang, a flash of fire and a pall ofsmoke.

While he observed the person in the black trenchcoatshooting outside and the person In the white tee shirt throwingthe explosive device, he also heard very rapid gunfire comingfrom somewhere within the school. Wisher was unable to see whowas doing this shooting or tell exactly from where in the schoolit was coming from.

After this person threw the bomb, Wisher and hisfriends got up and ran to a nearby house on Teller Court, whereWisher called his father to let him know he was safe. HowardWisher indicated he noted the time of the call as 11,20 a.m.

Wisher knows two members of the Trenchcoat mafia, JoeStair, a former Columbine student who graduated last year, andChris Morris.

He spoke with Morris once about the sport of paintball, which they both play. Wisher indlcated Morris normallysits by himself at a table on the south side of the cafeterianear the window, but cannot recall if he saw him in the cafeteriaon April 20, 1999.

"a differenttype of a person." She said Erie Harriswas a "very moody" type of a person. Mary said she did nor recall seeing

Eric Harris wear a trench coat. however,he did wear "dark depressing clothes." Mary said she is referringto his black clothing,
