The Church on the site of the Texas tragedy plan to demolish and build a memorial

Pastor of Texas Church where there was a mass murder, discussed the demolition of the building and replace it with a memorial. Church of Sutherland springs is closed as long as a man broke arms during a Church service and shot parishioners, thereby writing his name in the mass shooting in the history of Texas.

Pastor Frank Pomeroy, whose 14-year-old daughter Annabelle died that morning, said that «perhaps for the Church it would be better» to demolish the building. Pomeroy also suggested that «to turn this small plot in the memorial garden» and to build a Church in another place.

«The Church is the people, not the building,» said Oldham. «The Church is still standing, and the congregation think, where to pray on Sunday». According to him, until the fateful day in the Church, there were about 85-100 active members.

On Wednesday, Texas was visited by Vice-President Michael Penny. The purpose of his visit was to console the families of those killed in the shooting. «Faith is stronger than evil,» said Paynes.

Among the other memorials at the places of mass murder — night club Pulse in Orlando, where it was killed 49 people in 2016, and elementary school Sandy Hook in Connecticutthat killed 26 children and adults in 2012.
