Anne Marie Hochhalter, who was partially paralysed in the Columbine High School shooting but found strength to forgive, has died. She was 43.

Ms Hochhalter was found in her home in Denver on Sunday. Her family suspects she died of natural causes stemming from her injuries in the 1999 shooting in which 12 students and a teacher were killed by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
