described an unidentified female, he couldn't tell me if she wasa student or a faculty member. wearinga red shirt. come running
in the northwest cafeteria doors. and the female was yelling something. but he couldn't tell me what she was saying Jean

telling him to get down under the tables Jean said as he startedto get down on the floor, he recalled seeing a large plume of
white smoke coming from the Senior parking lot. Jean told me he still had no idea what was going on because he didn't hear
anysoundsof eithergunshots or explosions. Jean statedsoonafter theplumeof smoke in the SeniorparkingJot. that the students
-rver near the west windows started to run east towards the stairs of the cafeteria. He told me himself and Tiffany Spevak
remained at their table because they feared they were goingto be trampled by other students. After several of the student had
clearedthe cafeteriaarea. Jean and Tiffany picked their backpacks up and walked to the hallway just off of the kitcbenarea.and
proceeded into the auditorium. after it was unlocked by ajanitor Jean told me there were severalother students.along with two
teachers, :vIr Andreas Sr and Jr., that went into the aw;Htorium where they lockedall of the doors. Jean was asked if he heard
any gunshots or explosions at this time, He-told me he recalled \k Andreas Jr walk up to the top of the auditorium, and opened
the doors Jean stated shortlyafter Mr Andreas. Jr. openedthe doors,he heardwhat sounded like a shotgunblast. and thought
Mr. Andreas. Jr. had been shot when he opened the doors. Shortly after hearing the shot. Mr Andreas. Jr reappeared in the
auditorium. and he told me at mat point. he wasn't sure where the shotgun blast had come from. The students and the facutry.
fearing they weren't safe within the auditorium, exited via a southeast exn from the auditorium. which allowed them to gain
access into the foreign language hall. They ran to the end of this hall, and ran OUt an emergencyexit. which put them in the
Junior parking lot. After they reached the parking lot theyran east to Leawood Park,and remained there for a short period of
time They then ran into the subdivision east of the park. where they sought refuge in a house"

said that she heard a gun shot at this time. Sarah said that she got under

table for about thirty to forty' five seconds when a group of students broke
~~d ran for the .stairs leading to the library and south main laval hall

stuctents running from the cafeteria up the stairs. He advised that
he began to crawl away towards the kitchen area and his friends
followed. He and his friends went to the very back of the kitchen
and saw that there were some ten to fifteen people already there. He
stated that he then hearct a loud blast from the cafeteria area and
saw alot of smoke. He said that there was a laundry room adjacent to
the kitchen which he and many others went into and locked the door
from the inside. He guessed that there were about eighteen persons
in that room. He said four of those were cafeteria workers and two
or three were teachers, one of whom was, MR. KRITZER. He advised
that he could hear the sound of gunfire which to him sounded like
that made by a shotgun. He said he could also hear occasionally the
sound of chatter on a walkie-talkie and footsteps - people walking
around. He thought perhaps the police were outside but did not want
to open the door. He advised that he heard more shots while in the
closet and said those sounded as though they were coming from the
floor above them. He described them as "pop, pop, pop" then quiet,
then, "pop, pop, pop," followed by the "boom" which to him sounded
like that of a shotgun. He also described hearing noise which
sounded like shouting and wrestling on the floor.

Shawn Roberts advised that he does know who Harris and lClebold
are but did not see them that day. He said he did not associate with

• Nick stated that the first thing that drew his attention to the incident was "something
going on out on the hill (west side of cafeteria)", Nick slated that there were people
"running aroundand a person bleedingand limping", Nick stated that he could no!
see very well,andcould no! determine who the injuredperson was,
• Nick denies seeing any "shooters" or hearing "any gunfire or explosions" at that time.
Nick slated that he "along with the rest of the cafeteriagot down on the floor", Nick
Slated that he was under the table for about three rmnutes and "did not see any duffel
bags or backpacks"at that time,
• Nick slated that he then "got up an ran up the stairs" where he was directed by a
teacherto go into a "Biology class and then the greenhouse"where they stayed until
they were rescuedby SWAT members later in the incident, Nick denies hearingany
gunfire while runningup the stairs stanng that "it was pretty noisy, with all the
students"screaming and running. Again, Nickdenies seeing any "shooters",
• Nick stated that he is "aware of the Trench Coat Mafia" and knows Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold. He stated thaI Eric is I was in his Video Productionclass with Mr.
Talocco, He Staled that he "knew him from class only and never really hung out or
anything like that". He stated that knew Dylan from Theater productions, but again,
di9 not "hang out with Dylan". He staredthat he "knew they were the TeM",
• Nick stated that he does not know anybodywith a double pierced eyebrow. He
denies hearing anything in or around school that wouldhave led him 10 believe that
this was going to happen.
• Nick did state however, that he did have a brief,but interesting conversation with
Harris on April 19"', 1999during 2"" hour Video Production. Nick stared mat he was
in the hall (main hall by the corner of the Library) "doing some video filming" with
Ryan Seichertand Mike Van Dinea (sic). Nick stated that "Eric came in the hall and
sat down and wantedto know if he was in the wayT. Nick stated that he told Eric
"no" and asked Eric "what are you doing?", Nick slated that Eric replied with "just
working on some plans for tomorrow". Nick stated that he did not carry the
conversation any further than that and "never gave it another thought". Nick stared
that this conversation was "typical conversation between the two of them".
