Life

She was born somewhere in Colorado in 1981. She lived in Denver and moved to Littleton, Colorado in 1995. She attended Ken Caryl Middle School for a year before going to Columbine High.

Robyn Anderson was a close friend to Dylan and partially knew Eric. In November or December of 1998, Anderson and both boys went to a gun show and Anderson purchased three of the guns for Eric and Dylan, who were both under aged and could not acquire them themselves. These guns were the Hi-point Carbine rifle, the pump action shotgun, and the double barrelled shotgun. She was unaware what they intended to use the guns for at the time. Once the guns were purchased, Eric and Dylan would saw the barrels of their shotguns for easy concealability.

On April 17, 1999, Anderson went to the Columbine senior prom with Dylan Klebold as her date. She said that boasted to friends she really wanted to bring him to the prom despite Dylan initially refusing to go. Nothing seemed wrong with Dylan that day, according to her.

Robyn Anderson was in school at the time the massacre began but she did not run into the boys as they entered the building. Anderson felt suspicious of who would commit the massacre in the first place.

After the massacre ended, she was spoken to authorities about her connection with the shooters. She told them every detail she remembered including how she was unaware of what they intended to do with the guns. Due to her cooperation with the authorities, no charges were brought against her.

House Judiciary Committee

In January 2000, nearly a year later after the shootings, she told the House Judiciary Committee that a background check would have prevented her from even thinking about getting the guns for Harris and Klebold. It is explained here
