Sandy Hook Gets Torn Down Today

Posted by | October 25, 2013 09:32 | Filed under: Top Stories


The razing of the school where 20 children and 6 adults were shot to death last year begins today. Efforts are being made to ban souvenir-hunters.

The town has required the workers handling the tear down of the building to sign agreements banning them from discussing any aspect of the work as Newtown officials attempt to fade out of the media spotlight that hit the commuter suburb after the December 14 attack.

Town officials aim for completion of the nearly 60-year-old school’s demolition by the one-year anniversary of the attack…

Town officials have barricaded the property around the school to keep members of the public and media away.

“We don’t want parts of the building showing up as collector’s items on eBay,” Llodra said.

Full-time security guards will be at the site during demolition, and contractors have also signed confidentiality agreements.

A new school is expected to be open by December 2016.
