INVESTIGATION, JC.001. 007437
On Tuesday, April 20, 1999 at arOund 1300 hours I responded to theJefferson County Sheriff' a command post regarding the shooting at
1
Columbine High School. While on scene, three young men were taken
into custody in the area of the park that were similar in appearance
to the possible suspects in this shooting. One of the persons taken
into custody was a James Brunetti. Jeffco S.O. Sergeant Pat Woodin
requested I interview Mr. Brunetti.
At 1359 hours I entered a van were Brunetti was seated. He was
cuffed and being escorted by Jeffco S.O. Deputy A. R. Walker. His
property was already in a bag and I was handed his Colorado I. D. He
said he only heard about the shooting. His hands were then bagged
for a GSR collection kit.
Brunetti his rights per Miranda reading from my

replied, "Yes."
he replied, "Oh,
* He lives with his mother, Joanie, and his sister, Jannine. His
mother works at C.U. Boulder but he did not know in what capacity.
* He came with two friends of his; Matt Akard who he described as
his best friend and lived on Gray Court in Arvada, and Matt Nalty
who he described as a good friend who lives in Broomfield and drove
the three of them to the scene in his white car, unknown model.
* When asked what he was doing this date from the time .he woke
up, he said he had stayed the night at Matt Akard's home. They woke
up around 10:00 a.m. and Matt Nalty called over there around 10:30
a.m. They had all planned on going to a concert in Littleton for a
band called, "Drop kick Murphy.'
* He needed cigarettes so they all met over at his hOllSe. While
there, the news of the shooting was on television. He said his
sister was watching the television and they talked about his
sister's ex-boyfriend named Anson who attended Columbine High. They
wondered if he was okay so they decided to drive into the area and
see what was going on.
2 Jc.oQ1- 007438
* He said they approached scme cops to ask questions then thecops took them into custody with weapons drawn.
Mr. Brunetti then was taken by another van where a GSR kit was
completed. The three young men were then released and told to leave
the scene.
Mr. Brunetti was extremely cooperative and said he understood whatwaS going on due to the seriousness of the situation.
Within the next few days I received a call from Mr. Brunetti saying
that the cops were following him and he wanted SOme kind of written
statement that he and his friends were no longer suspects. I also
received a message to call Matt Nalty who also was saying he wanted
to be officially cleared. I made no follow-up calls to Mr. Malty.
