[edit] Differences between the real massacre and the movie
The name of the killer is Harry instead of the real James Huberty and Harry uses a revolver instead of a Browning HP used by Huberty. James Huberty was taken down by a SWAT sniper, while Harry is shot down by a restaurant customer. Five children (under age 18) were killed in the actual massacre, while no children are seen in the movie.[4]
