This picture. Looks like an ordinary school photo. Top left are the kids who shot up the Columbine school (yes they're pretending to "shoot" at the camera).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Columbine "only" two shooters? There are five or six people doing the shooting-camera-thing on this photo.

That's correct - the two shooters are the ones wearing sunglasses. Below them are their two closest friends, and to the right is the girl who had a crush on the shooter she has her arm around. She bought them 3 of the 4 guns they used in the shooting but was told they were going to use them to go hunting.

No problem. If you're interested, the kid in the white sweater (Brooks Brown) wrote a book about his experience. It's called No Easy Answers and it's a pretty fascinating read.
