GAME. BUT FOR SOMETHING HERE, 9.30, THIS WEEK MARKS 25 YEARS SINCE THE SHOOTING AT COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL AT THE TIME, IT WAS THE DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTING IN U.S. HISTORY AND IT FOREVER CHANGED OUR COMMUNITY TONIGHT, REMEMBERING THE 12 STUDENTS AND ONE TEACHER KILLED IN LITTLETON TO THE STORIES OF SURVIVORS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE FOUND HOPE IN THE HEARTBREAK. PEOPLE LIKE ASHLEY, GLAD OR WHO SURVIVED UNIMAGINABLE GRIEF. MANY TIMES SINCE COLUMBINE. AND FAITH WAS A BIG PART OF JOHN'S LIFE WITHOUT FAITH AND HOPE. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE HOW ASHLEY GLAD OR WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THE LAST 2 AND A HALF DECADES. YEAH, I THINK ABOUT IT A LOT. TO BE HONEST. SHE WAS JUST 11 WHEN HER 16 YEAR-OLD BROTHER JOHN TOMLIN A SOPHOMORE AT THE TIME. >> WAS KILLED AT COLUMBINE. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, HE'S JUST A REALLY KIND AND CARING BROTHER WHEN HE WAS 14, HE STARTED WORKING TO PAY THIS PICKUP TRUCK THAT HE BOUGHT TO TAKE US FOR RIDES IN TRUCK. AND THE WORLD REMEMBERS HOW HIS BELOVED PICKUP TRUCK PARKED IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THAT DAY BECAME A MEMORIAL COVERED IN FLOWERS IN THE DAYS AFTER COLUMBINE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FAMILY STILL HAS THAT OLD TRUCK. IT'S NOT MY PARENTS GARAGE FOR A LONG TIME AND TICKETS. SUCH GAS MILEAGE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DRIVE AND YOU'RE SPENDING 50 BUCKS JUST TO PUT GAS AND ACTUALLY STRONG FAITH AND HOPE ALSO GOT HER THROUGH 7 YEARS AGO WHEN HER SON, JOSHUA BORN WITH SEVERE BIRTH DEFECTS, DIED JUST 80 DAYS AFTER HE WAS BORN. AND I THINK ABOUT THEM TOGETHER AND HAVE. WHEN WHEN MY SON DIED, I FELT LIKE JON WAS THE ONE CARRYING THEM UP THERE AND IT'S COMFORTING. IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A BIG GRIEF BEFORE, >> THERE ARE SOME FAMILIARITY EASE. BUT THEN EACH THING IS DIFFERENCE. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BOTH DIFFERENT LOSSES THESE DAYS THAT FAITH IS BEING PUT TO THE TEST ONCE AGAIN FOR THE TOMLIN FAMILY ANOTHER OF ASHLEY'S BROTHERS. PAT. >> IS CURRENTLY BATTLING STAGE 4 COLON CANCER AND IT IS HARD TO HAVE HOPE HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN FIGHTING FOR 5 YEARS AND IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD. SO HE'S. >> THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER THING OF. THANK YOU, MATT. HAVE 2 BROTHERS SOON. YOU KNOW, THANKFULLY, EVEN ON THE DAYS WHEN THE HOPE FADES, SHE STILL HAS FAITH THAT FAITH THAT HELPED HER AS A KID. 25 YEARS AGO WHEN HER BROTHER DIED AT COLUMBINE. >> AND HE'S STILL GETTING HER THROUGH TODAY, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE PAIN. SOMETIMES CHRISTIANS LIKE TO. OVER THE HARD AND GET TO THE GOOD STUFF RATE AND GET TO THE HAPPY. YOU HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PAIN AND THE HARDSHIP AND SUFFERING. >> TO GET TO THAT POINT. >> THIS MAKES GOOD POINT THERE. ALL THIS WEEK AT 9, BY THE WAY, ARE GOING TO BRING YOU STORIES OF HOW COMMON VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS TURNED HEARTBREAK AND HOPE AFTER THAT SHOOTING. 25 YEARS AGO THIS SATURDAY, COLUMBINE STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND ALARMS WILL TAKE
