“We’re demolishing the home to ensure the safety of others living in the neighborhood,” Code Enforcement Director Brian Morris said in the release. “It basically is a shell of three walls. At the same time, we feel this is the start of healing for the neighborhood. With the house gone, hopefully the painful memories will start to fade and people can move on from this tragedy.”
