A press release from the fire department said Tapahe was watching a nearby soccer game when he noticed smoke coming from the front of the school, 1591 Jordan Ave., in Provo. The fire started at about 5:15 d trafin southbound an effort to avoid the fic in Range Rover. Mitchell said the truck was 'unable to avoid the vehicle. The truck's diesel tanks were punctured, but the driver 'was unhurt. ' SCHOOL FIRE p.m. Fire department officials said Tapahe and his wife, Karen, ran toward the school and noticed people inside. Tapahe's wife pulled the alarm and Tapahe grabbed a fire extinguisher, a press release The Provo Fire Department credits Emerson Tapuhe for slowing bers of the group. stuSean Kelly, a dent, said he saw several members of the group make a video about their guns in a video production class. He also said several members of the group recently bragged that they had gotten new guns. Some students said the killers targeted minorities and athletes. Andrew Beard, a student, said on CNN's "Larry King Live" that members of the group "talked about how jocks, how all the football players, were in a world of their own, thinking they were on top of everything and nothing mattered to them." GUNMEN .Continued from A I Despite their dark lifestyle, they had not shown an inclination for violence before Tuesday, according to some of their fellow students at Columbine High School. Authorities- - and school dis- trict officials said they had never heard of the group. A reference to it in last year's Columbine yearbook reveals nothing more than general teen-agexuberance. Even so, some students said they believed the two gunmen who went on a shooting rampage at Columbine were mem e said. The fire department arrived and took over. Paramedics treated Emerson for smoke inhalation at the scene. The fire started in shrubbery outside the school, but later broke classroom windows and started to burn into the building, according to the fire department's release. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation. Several children reported seeing a car speed away shortly before they saw the fire, the press release said. The fire department estimates the damage at $2,500. A dedication to the Trench Coat Mafia in the 1998 Columbine yearbook lists 13 members and carries the following message: "Who says we are different? Insanity's healthy! Remember rocking parties at Kristen's, foosball at Joe's and fencing at Christopher's! Stay alive, stay different, stay crazy. Oh, and stay away from CREAM SODA!!! Love always, the chicks." But other students had developed a less innocent image of the group. 'They're really dark people," said Wes Lammers, a junior. There were a lot of jokes that one day they might snap or something." Both sides did say steps are being taken toward a positive PROVO ; It- - Jwork. needs more conclusion. "I think ! we made great progress," said Jill Taylor, Planning Commission chair. "I think we came to agreement on many issues." One of the considerations were restrictions on gravel pits within three miles of houses. Those within three miles would be required to submit detailed That was the consensus among the different sides involved in the gravel pit issue.

But by early evening, officers had yet to remove any bodies because of the danger of explosives and the need to preserve evidence. FBI agents and police SWAT teams slowly made their way through the building. "It's just going to take us some time because of how many rooms we have bodies in," Davis said. At least 23 people were hospitalized, most of them with gunshot wounds. One girl suffered nine shrapnel wounds. At least 11 victims were in critical or serious condition; one was in guarded condition. The attack began at 11:30 a.m. The killers, wearing fatigues and trench coats, started firing in the parking lot and Till: DAILY 1(1 H Al I), I'rmn. i.ili ; I'.,,,,; started running."

They shot as they walked into the cafeteria, then walked upstairs to the library and continued firing with what were thought to be semiautomatic weapons and a shotgun.
