On June 16, 2006, just over seven years after two teenage boys carried out a shooting rampage, killing 12 fellow students and teacher , nearly two thousand people watched as construction began on the memorial to honor those killed during the Columbine Massacre. U.S. President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker at the ceremony.
The Columbine Memorial will be located in Clement Park and consist of an outer wall known as the Ring of Healing and an inner circle known as the Ring of Remembrance.
