CHICAGO - Oprah Winfrey has canceled an episode of her talk show that was to mark the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, saying it focused too much on the killers.

The episode titled "10 Years Later: The Truth about Columbine" was to air Monday, the anniversary of the massacre in Littleton, Colo., that left 12 students and a teacher dead.

Winfrey left a message Monday morning on her Facebook page, saying that after she reviewed the show, she decided to pull the episode because of its focus on the two gunmen. She asked viewers to hold a thought for the Columbine community, saying it is a hard day for them.

Instead, Winfrey will air a program about a mother released from prison.
