STORYLINE:
The 12 students and one teacher killed in the Columbine High School shooting were remembered Friday in a vigil on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.
The gathering, set up by gun safety and other organizations, is the main public event marking the anniversary, which is more subdued than in previous milestone years.
Dozens of people who were impacted by the event, including loved ones of those killed, were present at the ceremony.
The organizers of the vigil, which will also honor all those impacted by the shooting, include Colorado Ceasefire, Brady United Against Gun Violence and Colorado Faith Communities United Against Gun Violence, but they say it will not be a political event.
