Crews have started to tear down a Texas church where a gunman killed more than two dozen worshippers in 2017.
Workers begin demolition of the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, Monday, Aug. 12, 2024, where a gunman killed more than two dozen worshipers in 2017. A judge cleared the way last month for the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs to tear down the sanctuary where the attack took place, which until now had been kept as a memorial.Members of First Baptist voted in 2021 to tear down the building over the protests of some in the small community.
John Riley, an 86-year-old member of the church, watched with sadness and disappointment as the long arm of a yellow excavator swung a heavy claw into the building over and over.He said he would pray for God to “punish the ones” who put the demolition in motion.Earlier this summer, a Texas judge granted a temporary restraining order sought by some families. But another judge later denied a request to extend that order, setting in motion the demolition.
