Less than 40 miles away from Littleton, Colorado where the Columbine school massacre took place in 1999, another high school shooting occurred on September 27, 2006. This time, an older man attacked a class at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado. The man released all the male students and kept the female students as hostage, then killed one student and himself as SWAT closed in.
