CO: Schools Shut Down as Hunt Continues for Woman "Infatuated" w/ Columbine
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Colorado, schools across 20 districts in the Denver area are closed
today as authorities hunt for a woman they say is "infatuated" with the
Columbine massacre and traveled to Denver Monday. Eighteen-year-old Sol
Pais reportedly bought a gun and ammunition after arriving in Denver and
made threats that the FBI say are "credible" but nonspecific. Denver
area schools, including Columbine High School, increased security
Tuesday after the news broke. The 20th anniversary of the mass shooting
at Columbine High-in which two students killed 12 fellow students and
one teacher-is this Saturday, April 20.
