Denver-Area Schools Ban Trench Coats

DENVER (AP) -- There's a new rule in some Denver-area schools following
this week's deadly rampage at Columbine High School: No more trench
coats. School districts in Denver, Douglas County and parts of Adams
County are banning students from wearing the dusters. Officials say the
coats are intimidating and inappropriate and could be used to hide
weapons. The two gunmen belonged to a school group known as the
Trenchcoat Mafia.
