Demolition Begins on Site of Parkland School Massacre Six Years Later
- The bloodstained building where 17 people died in the 2018 Parkland school shooting is set to be demolished.
- The demolition is finally taking place six years after the tragic massacre.
- The community is moving towards closure as the building comes down.
The three-story building at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people died in a mass shooting in 2018, is being demolished. Families of the victims have been invited to witness the beginning of the demolition. The building, a constant reminder of the tragedy, is being taken down piece by piece. Broward County school board member Alhadeff, whose son attends the school, supports the demolition. Similar actions have been taken in other places after mass shootings, such as the closure of Robb Elementary in Texas. Families of the victims hope for a memorial to replace the building. The demolition was delayed due to legal proceedings related to the shooting. The community reflects on the failures that led to the tragedy as the building is torn down.
