NEWTOWN – The home of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza has been torn down, following the sentiment of the community that saw it as an unwanted reminder of the Dec. 14, 2012 massacre.
The white Colonial home where 20-year-old Lanza lived before he shot his mother to death and then killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School had been turned over to the town at no cost by the bank that held the mortgage.

The town’s Legislative Council voted 10-0 in January to demolish the Yogananda Street home after neighbors said the home was an unwanted attraction on the street.
“All I want to say is I am glad it is done,” Legislative Council Chairman Many Ann Jacob said Tuesday.
