Graffiti threats put Columbine in lockdown

LITTLETON, Colorado (AP) -- Because of a series of graffiti threats, Columbine High School will be locked down Friday, meaning students must stay in the building until the end of day unless they have an approved appointment.
School officials planned to have extra security officers and sheriff's deputies on hand, and staff members will monitor doors.
"This is really a precautionary step," said school district spokesman Rick Kaufman. "We believe that we are far enough in the investigation that ... nothing will happen."
School and sheriff's officials would not say whether the threats mentioned a specific date.
Jacki Tallman, spokeswoman for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, described the threat as a "nonspecific" message that "harm may come to others." She said the threats were written with either a marker, a pencil or a pen.
On April 20, 1999 teen gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold fatally shot 12 students, one teacher and themselves.
The school has received a number of threats in the years since the killings and several times has gone to a form of lockdown in response.
A few Columbine students said they were more upset with the vandals for creating more of a nuisance for the campus.
"I just think it's a goofball thing," said Katie Kocman, a sophomore. "I think it's a stupid thing to do it, but I'm glad the school is taking action on it."
