Building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to be torn down

Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School won't return to the building where Nikolas Cruz is accused of shooting into classrooms, killing 17 people on Valentine's Day, according to a reporter for CBS4 News in Miami.

The building, which is one of several on the campus, will be torn down and replaced with a memorial, assuming the school district receives funding from state lawmakers, reporter Jim DeFede said in a series of tweets Friday afternoon.

Roughly 900 students attended class in the building, and the school is already at capacity, according to the report.
