The building where 17 people were killed during the 2018 Parkland, Florida school shooting has begun to be demolished. The structure, part of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was used as evidence in the shooter’s trial, held in 2022.
The decision to demolish the building divided the parents of the victims, as some wanted to preserve it as a reminder of the importance of security measures against these attacks. The school has not yet decided what will replace the classroom building, although teachers have suggested building in its place a practice field for the school band, of which several of the slain students were a part.
