I have not only heard about, but I have been affected by the many school shootings that this great country has gone through. I have just got done reading a book about a school shooting and how it impacted one girl's life. Cassie Bernal died at the Colombine High School shootings on April 20, 1999. Her story has impacted the world with the three simple words, "she said yes." Not even a couple years ago, one of my really close friends was in school, and a guy came in and had a gun going through her school. Not knowing what was going on when my school went into lock down, I got a hold of her and she told me what was going on. We both were afraid for our lives. Luckily, he was caught before he started shooting anyone. I not only hope, but am willing to do whatever it takes to help children through school so nothing like Colombine or Virginia Tech happens again.
There is a crisis going on today in our schools. People get bullied, or they are having problems at home, and they bring their troubles to school. When these people get pushed to the breaking point, they take action, and usually its in a school shooting. Everyone that gets in their way gets hurt or worse killed. I have faith in us, that we can help those people that are having those troubles, and help them through life. Going through school is a very tough situation to over come, and its not easy doing it alone.

Well, considering the only two people who actually know beyond a shadow of a doubt (Klebold, who allegedly asked the question, and Cassie, who allegedly answered) are dead, it seems we'll never know for sure.
It should also be noted that Wyant, the one refuting what went on in the first place, is the only surviving witness of that scene.

"When these people get pushed to the breaking point, they take action, and usually its in a school shooting."
Do you really think that statement is accurate?
Considering the correlation, there's a good chance there's a relation.
And it oftentimes is either that, or suicide (or both) when a person is pushed to that breaking point.
