The Newtown Legislative Council of Newtown, Conn., has voted to raze the house where Adam Lanza lived prior to his attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
The 2-acre property where Lanza shot his mother to death before carrying out a massacre on a local elementary school was given to the town in December by a bank that acquired it from the Lanza family. The home is expected to be razed after winter is over, the Associated Press reports.
The council’s vote approved a proposal by the board of selectmen to raze the home and keep the land as open space. The demolition is estimated to cost about $27,000.
Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators before taking his own life on Dec. 14, 2012.
