On the night after the attack Diane Sawyer told ABC’s “20/20” audience that “the boys may have been part of a dark, underground national phenomenon known as the Gothic movement and that some of these Goths may have killed before.”
More excerpts from the segment "The Goth Phenomenon":
Eugene Riddle barely survived an attack by his teenage son, deeply involved in the Gothic Movement. They were proud, self-proclaimed members of the Gothic Movement, and like the students involved in yesterday's shootings, focused on white extremism and hate.
"In the Gothic Movement, they have what's called "the blood sports," where they're involved in self-mutilation in some cases. A lot of young females slice themselves with razor blades. Don't ask me to explain that because I can't. I know that they're, they're mixed-up kids."

It's what's known as the Gothic Movement, violent and black. A growing and, to many, troubling trend in suburban America.
And for the last seven years, Steve Rickard of the Denver Police Department gang unit has been trying to spread the word of how the so—called Gothic Movement has helped fuel a new kind of teenage gang—- white suburban gangs built around a fascination with the grotesque and with death. His most recent appearance was before students at Columbine High School in Littleton.Eugene Riddle barely survived an attack by his teenage son, deeply involved in the Gothic Movement.
