Demolition begins on the site of Texas' deadliest mass shooting as divided community watches

The demolition caps a bitter dispute between congregants over what to do with the site of Texas' deadliest mass shooting — and the nation’s deadliest mass shooting at a place of worship.

The original building was turned into a memorial, painted white with chairs named for each of the victims.
