850 KOA was the first news outlet to break the story of the Columbine shooting over the radio sometime between 11:25-11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1999.

One of their first broadcasts reported:

"Once again, that's Steve Davis with the Jeffco Sheriff's Department, there have been reports that  the suspect had guns and grenade launchers and that some students are hurt. Jeffco SWAT teams are en route to the scene as are 850 KOA's Jerry Bell and 850 KOA's Amani Ali."

== 850 KOA created the Never Forgotten Fund ==
After the shooting, 805 KOA created the [[Never Forgotten Fund]], which awards 13 scholarships each year in the names of the Columbine victims. 

The first year of this program, only Columbine students were awarded scholarships. After that time, the program was expanded to accept applications from students from the entire Denver Metro area.
