PARKLAND, Fla. — On Thursday, jurors for the murder trial of the Parkland shooter visited the site of the shooter’s rampage, where they witnessed dried blood in the same spots some of the victims died along with desks and walls that still had bullet holes.
The three-story freshman building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High has been sealed off and has remained intact since the 2018 Valentine’s Day shooting. At the site, jurors saw Valentine’s Day cards scattered throughout the school along with a teddy bear and other personal belongings students left behind that day.
The old building has since been replaced with a new $18 million building and a memorial to victims sits next to the high school’s sign — but what is the fate of the old building and the planned permanent memorial?
