Were there other people involved in the shooting?

I've always wondered if there were other people 'recruited' by Eric and Dylan, but maybe E and D didn't want to wait for them or they were a shitty shot or they backed out at the last second etc etc.

Is there any proof of this, and if not, what do you think?

You can find older threads where this very subject has been discussed in lengthy detail.  

IMO I don't believe there were any others included that knew what they were doing. Obv people like Mark Manes or Robyn were included. They purchased the guns. But did they know what they were purchasing them for? Manes maybe deep inside did but reality is neither knew they were going to use them at the school.

There are rumors that Eric and Dylan were parading about with a blueprint of the school discussing plans and all their friends stated that E&D constantly discussed shooting people or killing people but I don't think anyone knew what was going on.

I don't believe there was a 3rd shooter at all.

No. I also don't think Manes knew they were going to shoot up the school or anyone for that matter.

Frankly i think he was happy to get his money back for that piece of junk he sold Dylan. It supposedly has bad accuracy and jams up a ton.

What makes you think that Mark Manes had an inkling of what Eric and Dylan were planning?

Just some of the interviews he gave. He said he knew they were under 18 when they first approached him. And later on he questioned himself again when he was buying ammunition for Eric. IDK I think moreso he knew they were up to no good wanting these guns and going shooting not necessarily that he knew they were going to shoot up the school, just I think he had an inkling that they were not planning on using them strictly for target practice

I've never really suspected Mark as knowing anything about it either. I honestly feel Manes and Duran were just used as scapegoats to please the public's outcry for blood and justice since Eric and Dylan were dead and couldn't be punished.

I am sure that after 4/20 he went over and over in his head every single conversation he had with E&D. Hindsight can really be a bitch at times.

Boys that age being interested in guns is not unusual at all. I don't think Manes had any suspicion they were gonna do more than shoot in the woods and show it off.

Obviously looking back he realizes how stupid he was.
