The first version of the website (School Shooters .info 1.0), featuring five documents about the Columbine shooting, was built by Andrew Langman in 2008 and added to periodically. The second version (2.0) was built by Joshua Langman in 2010 and continually updated for the next four years. The current version (3.0), featuring a robust database built on industry-standard technologies and a comprehensive redesign, was collaboratively created by Joshua Langman and Dan Barron in 2014, and continues to be updated regularly.
