- A Florida school district will tear down the high school building that was the site of a deadly shooting.
- The Broward Schools superintendent said parents and students have overwhelmingly expressed their reluctance to ever return to the building.
- Instead, the school district will build a memorial around the site and replace the building.
The Broward County school district reportedly plans to tear down the freshman building at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were gunned down on Wednesday.
"Parents and students have resoundingly told me they can't go back into that building regardless of what we do," Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Friday.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
