Robyn Anderson

Robyn K. Anderson (born c. 1980) is an alumna of Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, United States. Anderson came under the media spotlight in 1999 after it was revealed by authorities that she purchased firearms which were later used by Dylan Klebold in the Columbine High School massacre.

High school
Anderson, a friend of Dylan Klebold had also attended the high school prom with Klebold on April 17, 1999 but they were not romantically involved. Speculation on whether or not they were has turned up information that they were on the border between friendship and romance.

Obtaining the firearms
On April 26, 1999 authorities discovered that in November 1998, shortly after her 18th birthday, Anderson made a straw purchase of a Hi-Point 995 Carbine 9 mm semi-automatic rifle, a 12 gauge Savage-Springfield 67H pump-action shotgun (Serial No. A232432) and a 12 gauge Stevens 311D double barreled shotgun (Serial No. A077513) at a Tanner gun show near Denver. These weapons were later used in the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999.

Aftermath
United States House of Representatives bill HB 1243 was dubbed the Robyn Anderson Bill since it proposed making the bestowing of firearms on minors without parental permission a crime.
