Uvalde to raze Texas school where mass shooting took place

The Uvalde, Texas, elementary school where 19 children and 2 teachers were killed in last month’s mass shooting won’t be standing much longer.

NBC News reported that Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told the city council Tuesday that the Robb Elementary School will be demolished.

“You can never ask a child to go back or a teacher to go back in that school ever,” Mr. McLaughlin said at the meeting.

A timeline for the school’s demolition wasn’t given. In the interim, students will attend two other elementary schools in the city, according to USA Today.
