Clinton visit to school shooting victims rocked by new rampage LITTLETON, Colorado, May 20 (AFP) - US President Bill Clinton consoled victims from the bloodiest school shooting in US history and expressed horror at another rampage Thursday which fed nationwide fears of an epidemic. "The problem that came to the awful conclusion you faced here is a demon we have to do more to fight," Clinton told high school students in this suburb of Denver, Colorado. He urged the youths to use the notoriety of the Columbine school shooting that left 15 dead to send a message to other youths that violence should never be used to resolve conflicts. "What happened to you has pierced the soul of America and it gives you the chance to be heard like no one else is heard," said Clinton. Politicians and celebrities have flocked to Littleton to express their grief and horror at the attack exactly one month ago when two teenagers went on a rampage that left 15 people dead, including the two heavily-armed gunmen. But Clinton, who shines in the role of consoler, held off until now due to concerns a presidential visit might overwhelm the shocked community. It was on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday, April 20, that Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18, unleashed the deadliest attack ever in US schools, killing 12 students and teacher and wounding 23 before they both committed suicide. One 15-year-old student, Vickie Abel, said Clinton's visit "really meant a lot to us. It's going to make us stronger." In Georgia on Thursday, a youth opened fire on fellow students at a high school, injuring six of his classmates, one seriously. Authorities said the 15-year-old boy was armed with a .22 caliber rifle and a handgun. "The news this morning of another school shooting ... is deeply troubling to me as it is to all Americans," Clinton said in Washington before leaving for Littleton. The some 1,900 Colorado students here enthusiastically greeted Clinton and his wife Hillary, who earlier met with Columbine survivors and families of the victims to listen to their stories and look at scrap books memorializing the slain youths. "There was some laughter, some sadness," said Clinton's spokesman Joe Lockhart. In his address to the students later, Clinton praised the community for its fortitude and assured them "something profound has happened to your country because of this." The shooting Thursday in Georgia was the sixth such rampage since October 1997 and the deadliest here in Littleton prompted a nationwide debate over how to end the escalating violence. It also plunged the powerful gun lobby into a public relations crisis. In Washington Thursday, the Senate approved controversial new gun control measures introduced after the Littleton shooting which create a new federal bureaucracy that will control gun shows and bar non-holders of federal firearm licenses from participating in them. The Senate also voted to require pawn shops to do background checks before completing all firearm transfers, including the return of guns to their owners.
