Columbine Shooters’ Middleman Is Paroled
From Times Wire Reports
A man convicted for helping the teenagers who shot up Columbine High School buy a gun that they used in the 1999 attack was paroled.
Philip Duran was placed on parole because he had completed 75% of his sentence, the rule for parole under state law, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Duran, 26, introduced Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to the man who sold them a semiautomatic handgun.
Harris and Klebold fatally shot a teacher and 12 students and wounded 23 others before killing themselves.
