Columbine Gunman's Parents Sell House

DENVER - The parents of Columbine High School gunman Eric Harris are selling the house where the teen and his friend stored guns and bombs and videotaped themselves hatching plans for their deadly rampage.

Two real estate agents whose families were affected by the 1999 school shooting will not be allowed to show the property. Both men have criticized Wayne and Kathy Harris for not doing more to stop their son's deadly plan.

One of the banned agents, Rich Petrone, said he would like to see the house, referring to it as the "scene of a crime."

Petrone's stepson, Danny Rohrbough, was one of the 12 students killed by Harris and Dylan Klebold, who also killed a teacher before taking their own lives.

The other banned agent is Randy Brown, who told police a year before the massacre that Harris had been threatening his son, Brooks. The sheriff's office did not follow through on his tip.

Wayne and Kathy Harris have not spoken publicly about their son and their lawyer was unavailable, so it was not immediately known if the Harrises were leaving the Littleton community. Their house near Columbine was listed for sale Tuesday.

The person who buys this place will probably be some sick freak. I can't see how anyone else could live there.

From what I have read about these parents they were on auto pilot as far as parenting.

If ever there was a case for the police to raze a house to the ground, this is it. And the two 'parents' can be locked in it at the time...

What's really sad is that both the shooters were on PROZAC and the other "antidepressant". Those drugs totally remove any feeling of remorse of hesitation in the commission of ALMOST ANY ACT. Interacting with most of the people I've known on Prozac is like having someone wave a straight razor in you face, back and forth, missing you by a few inches or less, each time.

Nothing to prevent Petrone and Brown from hiring their own agents to let them see the house as prospective buyers.
