Newtown weighs fate of Conn. school where 26 died
NEWTOWN, Conn. – Newtown residents are divided on what to do with the school building where 26 people were killed, with some favoring demolition and construction of a memorial and others encouraging renovations.
Many passionately gave their opinions at an emotional public meeting Sunday about the fate of Sandy Hook Elementary.
"I have two children who had everything taken from them," said Audrey Bart, whose children attend the school but weren't injured in the shooting. "The Sandy Hook Elementary School is their school. It is not the world's school. It is not Newtown's school. We cannot pretend it never happened, but I am not prepared to ask my children to run and hide. You can't take away their school."
