Judge blasts officers in Columbine death

DENVER, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- A federal judge Tuesday blasted sheriff's commanders for blocking efforts to rescue a critically wounded teacher who eventually died in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock refused to toss out a lawsuit in the death of teacher Dave Sanders, saying the inaction by the officers was "shocking to this federal court."
