According to a statement made to government investigators of the Columbine attack by then-CHS student David Proctor, who occasionally played Doom with Harris and Klebold via modem, Harris told him in 1999 that he had created a level of Doom that was Columbine High School. Proctor added that another classmate had told him he had heard the same. Though Harris did release several [[PWAD|WADs]], the alleged CHS levels are not known to be on the internet. After the shootings, many websites refused to provide downloads to any of the levels, seeing the shootings as something from which the community should dissociate itself. Although this position has largely dissipated, [[Ty Halderman]] regularly rejected the maps from inclusion in the [[idgames archive]] during his period as maintainer.

A PDF containing some of Harris' documents and personal writings [http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/pdf/900columbinedocs.pdf] includes designs for some of his levels (page 112 onward). On page 272, Harris says "Doom is so burned into my head my thoughts usually have something to do with the game", while on page 321 amongst others he references the [[Doom novels]]. Page 281 includes a reference to his shotgun which he nicknamed "Arlene," after the character of [[Arlene Sanders]] from the novels, which he refers to "holding a grudge against" due to the weapon having jammed - other nearby writings project thoughts and emotions onto inanimate weapons and ammunition such as shotgun shells, stating how they "hate to wait."

Harris's ''UAC Labs'' WAD contains comments which appear somewhat disturbing in retrospect. For example, the description ends, "Good luck marine, and dont forget, KILL 'EM AAAAALLLL!!!!!", while the copyright section threatens, "You may NOT change a damn thing with this WAD, if you do, i will blow you up".
