The Influence of Columbine

As we approach the twentieth anniversary of the Columbine shooting, we have prepared a diagram portraying the apparent lines of influence from Columbine through subsequent attacks. All of the post-Columbine perpetrators included here either explicitly cited Columbine as an influence or made oral or written references that suggest it influenced their own attacks. The lines of influence illustrate links between those who were influenced by Columbine and later perpetrators whom they influenced in turn.

Seeing it laid out like that is striking.

I'm getting the bad feeling that this is the kind of list that's going to keep getting updated as the years go on...
