Controversies and questions

Were there two Greg Barnes'?

A Denver Post article published May 19, 2000, corrected some misconceptions about Greg Barnes:

"In its statement, the family said some initial reports about Greg's last day were incorrect.

While some students said they saw Greg at school earlier that day, Mark Barnes said "Greg did not go to school" May 4.

Also, 'Greg did not have a creative writing class with either (Dylan) Klebold or (Eric) Harris as he was two years younger. He didn't even know them. Greg was repeatedly confused with another Greg Barnes (who) graduated in 1999.'"

There were, in fact, two Greg Barnes' at Columbine in 1999. The Greg Barnes who committed suicide was a junior; the other Greg Barnes was a senior and was in the same creative writing class as Harris and Klebold. This can be verified by looking at the creative writing class roster from the 11k report:

A senior named Greg Barnes was in Harris & Klebold's creative writing class.
A senior named Greg Barnes was in Harris & Klebold's creative writing class.
