Initial reports suggested that one of the assailants, either Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold, asked Bernall if she believed in God moments before fatally shooting her. She was reported to have answered "yes". This story led to Bernall being presented as a martyr by some Christians, and served as the inspiration for several songs, including Michael W. Smith's "This Is Your Time"^[1] and Flyleaf's "Cassie"^[2].

In the months following Bernall's death, her mother, Misty Bernall, authored the book She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall (ISBN 0-7434-0052-6). In this book Misty Bernall discusses her daughter's turbulent teenage life, spirituality, and alleged martyrdom. Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit. ...

The official investigation into the shootings concluded that Bernall did not have the exchange.^[3] Valeen Schnurr, one of the survivors of the Columbine massacre, said in an interview with Stories for a Teen's Heart author Janna L. Graber that the question, "Do you believe in God?" was addressed to her, and that she answered in the affirmative.^[4] Witness Craig Scott, brother of Rachel Scott, a girl who was also killed in the massacre, had originally reported that he heard Bernall's voice. When investigators took him back to the scene he indicated that the voice had not come from the area where Bernall had been located. Emily Wyant, who had been sitting with Bernall in the library as the shootings began, confirmed that the exchange did not take place. Wyant stated that she and Bernall were studying together when the gunmen broke in. According to her account Bernall exclaimed, "Dear God, dear God! Why is this happening? I just want to go home." Wyant described how Eric Harris suddenly slammed his hand onto the table top and yelled "Peek-a-boo!" before fatally shooting Cassie Bernall. Despite this evidence to the contrary, reports alleging that Cassie said "yes" persist.^[5][6] Rachel Scott Rachel Joy Scott (August 5, 1981 – April 20, 1999) was the first victim of the Columbine High School massacre, which claimed the lives of 12 children and a teacher, along with the two perpetrators, in one of the deadliest school slayings in U.S. history. ...
