Monument to honor Columbine massacre victims set to be built

On Friday, former U.S. President Bill Clinton was scheduled to attend a groundbreaking ceremony and a fundraiser to collect the last few hundred thousand dollars (euros) needed for the project. He also planned a private meeting with victims and their families.

Construction of the memorial was delayed first because parents worked to raze the library where most victims were killed by suicidal gunmen Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris and replace it with an atrium. Then almost two years passed before everyone agreed on the memorial, the AP reports.
