During the week beginning on 05/24/99, Detective Boatright (IO) was requested to assist Detective Battan and Sergeant West (members of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office) with contacts related to family members of deceased victims as well as surviving victims and their families. Specifically during that week, arrangements had been made to allow the aforementioned groups of people to enter the library (scheduled individually by family) and observe the crime scene in a general overview. IO's presence was requested to answer general questions related to events occurring in the library IO was also asked to be present in the event a surviving witness/victim had an additional recollection while viewing the crime scene. IO would note he was assigned as a team leader to the library which then gave him the responsibilities of conducting the investigation concerning events related to the witnesses' recollection at that location. As a result, IO conducted numerous interviews with surviving library witnesses/victims and had also reviewed all other interviews conducted with surviving witnesses/victims from that same location. As of the date indicated above, IO was very familiar with the witnesses' accounts of events occurring in the library during the incident on 04/20/99 On 05/28/99 at approximately 1415 hours, IO was present in the library during the time Kathy Park, her sister (Jeanna Park) and their parents were present. While Jeanna Park was speaking with her parents over near table #2 (location she was at during the incident), Kathy Park asked if she would be allowed to walk over to the area where she was located during the course of this incident. IO responded in the affirmative and accompanied Kathy Park over to the west side of the library. As Kathy Park stood at the north end of the far west bookshelf and looked out onto the west section, IO asked if she recalled where she was located when the incident began. Kathy Park responded in the affirmative. Kathy Park then walked a short distance to the south and pointed to a chair located between a pass through and a section of bookshelves. IO would note the aforementioned bookshelf is labeled "row 5" in the official diagram Kathy Park continued with her explanation by stating while seated at that location, she heard a "teacher" enter the library and tell all of the students to get under the tables.

Kathy Park then pointed out as the incident continued, she knew there was movement underneath her table though she could not be certain as to where everyone was located "after the shooting started." Kathy Park was subsequently asked what she recalled occurring during the course of this incident. Kathy Park stated she believed at least two suspects had entered the library after which they began firing weapons. Kathy Park made that determination based on hearing two voices. Kathy Park could not recall the words spoken as the suspects entered the library Kathy Park described the suspects firing the weapons from somewhere northwest in the library. Kathy Park pointed out due to the11 level of fear she was experiencing she was trying not to "look.

When asked how she knew that, Kathy Park stated she could see “ blood." Kathy Park was unable to be more specific concerning that point.

Kathy Park stated at same point later, she did see a suspect whom she identified as "Dylan" standing to the east of table #16 holding what appeared to be a "shotgun." Kathy Park stated at that point Dylan Klebold was attempting to pull Isaiah Shoels out from underneath table #16.

When asked for further clarification regarding the above observation, Kathy Park said she first heard Dylan Klebold state, "Get up nigger" after which the forenamed grabbed Isaiah Shoels by the arm and began to "pull."
