== Aftermath ==

{{Quote|We continue to be profoundly saddened by the suffering of so many that has resulted from the acts of our son. We loved our son dearly, and search our souls daily for some glimmer of a reason why he would have done such a horrible thing. What he did was unforgivable and beyond our capacity to understand. The passage of time has yet to lessen the pain.|Wayne and Kathy Harris, April 15, 2000}}Eric's body was cremated after a memorial service was held, as was Dylan's. This was so no one would vandalize a grave site if they were laid to rest in a proper headstone or tomb. After the Columbine High School massacre, controversy rose against gun laws, violent video games, and music artists such as Marilyn Manson. Many films were also developed that were inspired by Columbine. Books were also written on the incident, focusing on why Eric and Dylan could have done what they did. The killers' journals were released to the public as were their videotapes. The parents of Eric and Dylan remained quiet and kept a low profile, until Sue Klebold released a book about her son Dylan (A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy) in 2016.

She has since become an advocate for suicide awareness. All of the Columbine evidence has since been destroyed, including the weapons, and the Basement Tapes that many have urged JeffCo to release to the public. In 2014, a small piece of one of the tapes was leaked that featured Eric and Dylan referring to 'Rachel and Jen' (possibly Rachel Scott and Jennifer Doyle) as "Christian-godly whores."

In 2016, a film was released based on the journal entries of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the massacre, entitled I'm Not Ashamed, which received a rating of 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Immediately after the massacre, Columbine's library was removed and a new one was built outside of the school entitled Hope Columbine Memorial Library. An atrium was put in the place of the old library.
