On October 2, 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV shot ten girls at West Nickel Mines School, an Amish educational facility that occupied a single room. The victims were all between the ages of six and thirteen. Five of them died.

The school was demolished just one week after the attack. To this day, the site of the deadly assault remains an open field.

On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed twelve students and a teacher before taking their own lives at the Jefferson County high school.

In the wake of these slayings, officials decided to extensively renovate the cafeteria and library areas where much of the violence happened. AColumbineSite.com provides photos and more of the resulting changes. In addition, a large memorial to the victims was constructed near the school.

Movie theaters as a whole are on the way out anyway...Home theaters are where it's at. And no kids talking on cell phones or $8 popcorn.
