Differences between the real massacre and the movie

James Huberty was taken down and killed by a police SWAT sniper, while Harry is fatally shot down by a restaurant customer.
The real-life massacre took place at a McDonald's restaurant, while the massacre in the movie takes place at a nameless cafe.
The actual massacre lasted for 77 minutes, while the massacre in the movie lasts for the final five minutes.
Five children (under age 18) were killed in the actual massacre, while no children are seen in the movie.
