Seventeen years ago, one of the deadliest high school shootings shook not only the city of Littleton, but the nation as a whole.
Today, on the 17th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, Colorado is paying their respects to those whose lives were lost, using the Twitter hashtag "Colorado Strong."
