"We actually went through where the shooter went in, where he walked in, where he went. Where he went on the first floor, what shots he shot, what glass he shot into, where the blood is on the floor of the students and the coaches and the teachers that he shot. I mean It's hard to put into words reality and what you see, you know, what you see in a movie."

"I never got to say goodbye before they did an autopsy. I will never get past that and I needed to be able to see where me was his last moments of being alive. It was very important to me. Actually standing in his classroom and stand where he was. Stand at the desk he taught. Look at the desks of the students that he shared so many memories with me and tried to say goodbye, but I can tell you I can't say goodbye."

STORYLINE:
For more than five years, the bloodstained halls and classrooms where 17 people died in the Parkland school shooting has remained locked away and mostly untouched — not even the victims' families were allowed inside.
That changed Wednesday, as heart-wrenching private tours began for relatives of the 14 students and three staff members who died.
The 17 wounded and their loved ones will also be able to visit the 1200 building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, now that it is no longer needed as evidence in the trials of the convicted killer and the deputy who was just acquitted of failing to stop him.
The school district plans to demolish the three-story building, likely replacing it with a memorial.
Four families were led through the building Wednesday by prosecutors. Others are scheduled in the coming weeks. There might also be a reenactment of the Valentine’s Day shooting for a still-pending civil lawsuit against the deputy.
“I needed to see where my son was murdered," said Linda Beigel Schulman, whose 35-year-old son, geography teacher Scott Beigel, died while directing his students to safety.
The building was preserved as evidence so that the jurors in last year’s penalty trial of shooter Nikolas Cruz could tour the building, which they did in August at the conclusion of the prosecution’s case.
Cruz, a 24-year-old former Stoneman Douglas student, received a life sentence after the jury couldn’t unanimously agree that he deserved the death penalty.
