Mom of Columbine Victim Kills Self DENVER (AP) -- The mother of a student wounded in the Columbine High School massacre walked into a suburban pawn shop Friday, asked to see a handgun, loaded it and killed herself with a shot to the head. Carla June Hochhalter's suicide occurred about six months after her 17-year-old daughter, Anne Marie, was critically wounded in the April 20 tragedy and left paralyzed from the waist down. It was not immediately clear if her suicide was connected to the shootings. Ms. Hochhalter, 48, entered the Alpha Pawn Shop in Englewood Friday morning and asked to see a handgun. When a clerk turned around to fill out paperwork, Ms. Hochhalter loaded the weapon and fired one round that hit the wall and a second round into her head, Englewood police spokeswoman Leticia Castillo said.
