Columbine 25 Years Later: Connie Sanders says her dad loved being a grandpa

I'm Connie Sanders one of the daughters of teacher Dave Sanders he was killed at Coline High School in 1999 he loved grandkids that was his favorite thing was to play puppet show and he would give the kids an under the pillow treat every time they came over which was usually a puppet and it's hard to believe now that those grandkids have grown up and having kids of their own and he's missing out on that so that's hard after it happened we had this idea that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and over the years we realized he was in the right place at the right time he saved hundreds of students um he saw the shooters in the parking lot and he ran into the cafeteria and jumped up on the tables and yelled for kids to get down and move out and then he was running up the stairs and confronted the two Shooters and which shot and then he um fell into the science room and was there for more than 3 hours with 40 students and bled to death I wish that people knew just how much more he had to contribute and how much we miss him and that we don't even after 25 years we don't get over it we get through it and just how much how much I wish he was here
