A wooden temple built as a memorial to the 17 victims of a Florida high school mass shooting has been set on fire in a symbolic gesture of healing. The families of several victims attended the ritual burning of the 35ft tall temple on Sunday. Friends and loved ones had been leaving notes, photos and mementos inside the temple to honour the victims of the mass shooting since it was built in February. Best and his team of volunteers and community helpers built the structure as the communities commemorated the anniversary of the mass shooting last February.
