DENVER, June 19 (UPI) -- Jefferson County, Colo., Sheriff Ted Mink said Monday he would release more documents from the Columbine shooting investigation.
The Rocky Mountain News said the documents came from the homes of killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who massacred 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999.
Investigators took journals, videotapes and audio tapes from the killers' homes during their investigation. Mink said in a news release he would release 936 documents but none of the video or audio material for fear of copycat attacks.
"In truth, thousands of pages of documents and other evidence have been released over the years, and no one item has held the key," Mink said in a prepared statement. "In my mind, no new insight the tapes might provide can justify the loss of just one life."
The Denver Post sued for release of the material and the Colorado Supreme Court left the decision up to Mink.
The victims' families have been clamoring for the release as well but Harris' and Klebold's parents have been fighting it.
