Eric Harris was an American high school senior from Wichita, Kansas. He and schoolmate Dylan Klebold were responsible for the Columbine High School massacre (1999).
In April 1981, Harris was born in Wichita, Kansas. His parents were Wayne Harris and his wife Katherine Ann Poole. Wayne worked as a transport pilot for the United States Air Force, while Katherine Ann was a homemaker. During Harris' early life, his family moved often due to his father's work. In 1983, the Harris family settled in Dayton, Ohio. In 1989, they relocated to Oscoda, Michigan. In 1992, they moved to Plattsburgh, New York. In 1993, Wayne retired from the military. He decided to move to Colorado with his family, which was his birthplace.
According to a later written report by Harris, he resented his father's decision. Harris had friends in Plattsburgh, and he felt alone without them in Colorado. From 1993 to 1996, the Harris family lived in rented accommodations in the Littleton area. In 1996, they purchased their own residence. By that time, Wayne was employed by the Flight Safety Services Corporation. Katherine Ann started a new career as a caterer. Harris' older brother Kevin started taking lessons at the University of Colorado. In 1995, Harris enrolled at the Columbine High School as a freshman.
