"Accountability and Action: Demolition of Stoneman Douglas Building and Acquittal of Deputy Spark Controversy"

The building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where the Parkland mass shooting took place in 2018, will finally be demolished after the conclusion of the trials related to the tragedy. The building, known as the 1200 building, has been preserved as a reminder of the shooting, but now the community is eager for its removal. The school district plans to demolish the building and restore the site to a landscaped condition, although the work is not expected to be completed before the new school year begins. Families of the victims have requested the opportunity to walk through the building in its original condition, while teachers want to retrieve their personal items. A memorial is likely to be built on the site once the demolition is complete.
