The Red Flags of Potential School Shooters with Columbine Survivor Amy Over - SPOTLIGHT with Tina Griffin
Amy Over was just 18 years-old when she clung desperately to a classmate as they hid together under a cafeteria table during the chaos and terror of a mass shooting in progress.

Amy, who is now the Director of Fundraising for The Rebels Project, shares red flags parents can look for when assessing potential mass shooters in their own schools. She also reveals the reality of her life following her escape from Columbine that fateful day, how motherhood saved her, and why parents need to communicate with their children to avoid future shooting-related catastrophes.
