[0:00] just to kill. We know as many as 25
[0:03] people are dead. That includes students,
[0:05] teachers, and at least two of the people
[0:08] that police believe started the carnage
[0:10] in Littleton. We are told they took
[0:12] their own lives. They committed suicide.
[0:14] The Jefferson County Sheriff there
[0:15] describing it as a methodically planned
