In Dave Cullen’s book “Columbine” he describes what the principal of Columbine High School went through during the massacre. Frank DeAngelis was shot at by the assailants. He was standing in front of a glass case and he vividly remembers the glass shattering and him falling down in a bunch of broken glass. He was walking to the main office to interview a prospective teacher. The last fact is key.

DeAngelis suffered PTSD something fierce in the years afterward. When he was interviewed by investigators he swears he got done interviewing a prospective teacher - remembers details, setting, what they talked about - when in fact the interview never took place. He was on his way to the interview and he got shot at.

Human memory is weird like that.

Also, in the same book, the author relates the story of a boy who repeatedly misidentified the girl who prayed while Harris executed her. It wasn’t until they took him back to the library and had him go back over the story and the police told him that the girl he thought it was was on the other side of the room.
