Kelly Ann Fleming was 16 and a student at Columbine High School when she was killed in the library on April 20, 1999. Described as a shy but creative young woman who had moved from Phoenix 18 months earlier, she wrote poems, short stories and an autobiography fragment and often spent time in the school library.

During the attack by two students, Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, Kelly hid beside a table with several other girls. Shots were fired from under the table that wounded two girls and fatally struck Lauren Townsend. The shooters returned to that area and Kelly was shot in the back by Eric Harris with a sawed-off shotgun; her body was later found near Lauren’s. The assailants died by suicide in the library and no arrests were made.

Kelly was buried holding two teddy bears. If anyone knew Kelly, her habits at the library, or has information about that day, please share what is known.
