Ritter, Columbine Principal Offer Help To Va. Tech

 Slideshow: Deadly Rampage At Virginia Tech

 Special Coverage: Massacre At Virginia Tech
DENVER (AP) ― Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis said he's ready to help if called for those suffering through the Virginia Tech tragedy.

DeAngelis has offered aid and advice to officials at schools targeted by gunmen since the 1999 massacre at Columbine.

A joint statement released Tuesday by DeAngelis and Jefferson County public schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said their hearts were breaking over the deaths at Virginia Tech.

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter has ordered state flags lowered to half-staff to honor the victims.

Ritter also sent a letter to Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine offering to help the state cope.

"It's my hope that we can share lessons learned from the Columbine tragedy with our fellow citizens in Virginia," he wrote.

Ritter worked on a task force that looked into the Columbine shootings.
