Most of them were not yet born when students shot a dozen people to death inside Columbine High School in Colorado, an atrocity that sparked a national debate over guns exactly 19 years ago.

The shootings ended the lives of Rickey Dixon, 18, and Kimson Green, 17, according to Miami police.

The four were gunned down as they sat on the lawn outside a row of one-floor apartments at Northwest 63 Street and 13th Place.
