The former home of Nancy Lanza and her son Adam was demolished on March 23. By about 9:45 am on Monday, the house had disappeared and a large excavator was loading the demolition debris into dumpsters positioned on an earthen terrace at the Yogananda Street site.

The house was the initial crime scene where Adam Lanza shot his mother in the tragic series of events that ultimately led to the deaths of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School on 12/14.

Earlier this year, town officials, in consultation with the families of 12/14 victims and neighbors of the site, decided to tear down the house, which had been conveyed to the town by the mortgage holder, Hudson City Savings Bank. A demolition firm donated its services for the house removal.
