CORRESPONOENCE

TO: DistrictFour DetectivesFROM: John M. Lietz 79042, District Four StationDATE: April 20, 1999

SUBJECT: Shooting at Columbine High School in JeffersonCounty

On this date, at about 1100hours, while working as the District Clerk, I received a call fromMatthew Depew, Officer Wayne Depew's son. He statedhe was at Columbine High School andsomeone was shooting all the students. I knewthisschoolwasin JeffersonCounty soI toldhim tohangup andcall911 to getemergency helpon theway. I rantomydesk phone to call our dispatchandreceiveda call back from MatthewDepewstatingthat the phones in the schoolcould not call911 and he could not call for emergency help. I thenkept Matthew on the phone in one ear andgrabbed my other phone calling 911 myself. I directedDenver911 to transferme to JeffersonCounty9 I I. While doing this Matthew Depewstated he and several other studentswere in thecafeteria areaandallunknown numberof gunmen wereshooting students in thecafeteriarightat thatmoment. I couldhearshotsbeing fired inthebackground. I havea daughter that is a student at theschoolso I knewsomeof the layoutof the school. I asked Depewwhere hewas in the cafeteria,since there are pay phones only at the doorways to the cafeteria. [was told that Depew and thegrouphe was withhad run to the rearkitchenarea.I tried to pass information from Depewto JeffersonCountyover the phone as the suspects werecontinuingto shoot people. Matthew Depewremained remarkably calmand told me that he andabout 20 others (later found to be eighteentotal)had run into the office in the kitchen and werehiding there. He gave me a physical description of the one suspecthe had seen. I gave thisinformation to JeffersonCountyand heard it passedovertheirpoliceradio for their officers in thefield touse.

! feelthat Matthew Depew is responsible for saving the lives ofhimselfandtheseventeenpeoplewithhim. byhis responsible actions andevenknowing tocallDenver Police whenthephones wouldnotconnect himto911. If Denver Police can give the lifesaving award to Matthew Depew there isno doubt inmymind, .....bile listening to the suspect(s) shoot into the room, that he deserves thataward, eighteen timesover.
