Cassie René Bernall (November 6, 1981 – April 20, 1999) was an American student who was killed in the Columbine High School massacre, where 11 more students and a teacher were killed by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who then committed suicide. It was reported that Bernall had been asked whether or not she believed in God, and she said "Yes", before being shot during the massacre.

Misty and her husband, Brad, are hailed as “blessed parents of the martyr” within their deeply religious community until two Columbine survivors—Emily Wyant and Val Schnurr—come forward to refute the story of Cassie’s martyrdom.
