Cassie- Flyleaf

"Do you believe in God?"
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?"
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger.

"Do you believe in God?"
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Rachel pulled the trigger



Cassie René Bernall (November 6, 1981 – April 20, 1999) was a student killed in the Columbine High School massacre, aged 17.
Initial reports suggested that one of the assailants, asked Bernall if she believed in God moments before fatally shooting her. She was reported to have answered "yes".This story led to Bernall being presented as a martyr by some Christians, and served as the inspiration for several songs, including Michael W. Smith's "This Is Your Time" and Flyleaf's "Cassie".


Rachel Joy Scott (August 5, 1981 - April 20, 1999) was the first victim of the Columbine High School massacre. At 11:19 a.m., a witness heard Eric Harris yell "Go! Go!" At that moment the gunmen pulled out their shotguns and began shooting at Rachel Scott and Richard Castaldo, who were sitting on a grassy knoll to their left (next to the West Entrance of the school), eating lunch. Scott was killed instantly, hit 4 times; Castaldo was critically wounded, hit 8 times.

Many rumors swirled regarding the causes of the rampage, including the possible targeting of Christians. One such rumor was that the shooters first asked Scott if she believed in God, then killed her after she answered "you know I do." This rumor has never been proven false or true. Richard Castaldo said at the hospital after the shooting that they mocked Rachel for her faith and then they killed her.

The Columbine High School massacre occurred on Tuesday, April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine in unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado, near Denver and Littleton. Two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, embarked on a shooting rampage, killing 12 students and a teacher, as well as wounding 23 others, before committing suicide.


I'm moved beyond words at their faith.
Say yes to pull the trigger.
