She told the students in her class to exit thebuilding in "fire alarm fashion"; she told them she would meet them in thepark, where she would take roll. As she was leaving the building she heardfrom another staff member that the alarm was realWarnke did not see shooting or shooters. She did hear loud noises.When she got to the park she assisted by keeping cars out of the parking lotAs she was exiting the school, she remembers hearing a student tell anotherstudent that he saw a shooter.

Narrative:On5·7·99 I spoke with Hulsewhotold me that he knewboth Harris and Klebold but knew Harris muchbetter and used to play the game"Doom" with Harris on theircomputers thru a bulletin board or chatroomcalled "Enter Net"or "Mystical Realm" run by "Todd" phone 415·1895. Hulse confirmed that his screenname is "Jlrnbo", He began playing andtalking on linewith Harris around the endof Hulse's freshman yearand did so until Harris and Klebold "got into the trenchaoat thing" in their junior year (note: Hulse is oneyearbehind Harris andKlebold in school). Hulse knows the gameDoom andconfirmed that youcan developyour own plans or blueprints In the game and remembers Harris talking in the bulletin board aboutwantingto develop theplansfor Columbine HS for a game. Hulseneversawany Doom plans for CHS. Harris alsowent by a screen name"rebel doomer". Most of the time when Harris and Klebold were playing on line theywere at Harris' residence.

Hulse further advised that although he did get along with Harris (dUring their gaming days), he never gotalong with Klebold and in fact Klebold hated Hulse. Hulse was in an independent studies class with Kleboldbut was never allowed nearthe schools computers (due to a past hacking incident) and Hulse was alwaysgiven thecomputer assignments which very much upset Klebold.

At thelime of the incidenton 4·20·99 Hulse was in the photo room anddidn't know anything wasoccurringuntil he heard the fire alarmat around 1125 hrs • 1300hrsand exited the school thru the north doorin theclassroom andwentto the tenniscourts. Heneverheard anyshooting or explosions.

Hulse concluded by saying that there is a common term used in bulletin boards or chatrooms. It is H-P·Y·C·A recognized as being Hacking, Phreaking, Virus (or Yiril), Carding andAnarchy. These describe variousdifferent criminal activities. Hulse haswitnessed Harris occasionally usesome of these terms but couldremember nothing specific.

After being advised ofthe identity of the interviewing Agent and the nature of theinterview, Robson furnished the following information:

Robson is a Sophomore at Columbine High School. OnApril 20, 1999, he was in his fifth period class when he heardthe fire alarm go off. This class is photography with MissHirakawa. Attachment A is a diagram of Columbine High School.Robson indicated on the diagram the location of his photographyclass. The class followed the fire escape plan and left theschool building. After he exited the school he heard two loudbangs and then a very loud third bang. He remembers lookingtoward the area near the cafeteria. He believes the explosionsoccurred over in that area as that was the direction that helooked. He continued running frOm the school, going between thetennis courts and the batting cages at Clement Park. A gentlemanwho looked like a custodian for the school or a constructionworker ran towards the students exiting the school. He told themto keep running as somebody had a gun. This individual wore awhite T-shirt, was wearing brown gloves and may have had a radio.

The students kept running and on the other side of thebasketball court everyone stopped. Then Someone said to keep onrunning. Robson jumped the fence and went into the parking lotlocated within Clement Park. Police officers approached them inthe parking lot and told them to keep moving away from theschool. Robson kept moving until he was at the public library onEowles Street.

Robson has spanish with Miss Frund during secondperiod. Announcements for the school are broadcast over theRebel News Network on televisions within the classroom. Robsondoesn't really pay attention to the announcements and does notrecall anything unusual about the announcements on April 20,1999.

Robson's locker number is 1675 and is located near thegym. He has a jacket and books in his locker. He left his
