The suspicion that the May 24, 2022 Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, Texas, shooting was a hoax is supported by the fact that within a week of the alleged shooting, local and federal officials are calling for the Robbe Elementary School to be torn down.

"I don't think anybody's plans are but to tear that building down," Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said, according to KXAS-TV. "I would never ask, expect a child to ever have to walk in those doors ever, ever again. That building needs to be gone."

In a message to parents on Wednesday, Uvalde CISD Superintendent Dr. Hal Harrell said students would not be returning to Robb Elementary.

One compelling reason to tear down a school building that has been the sight of a mass shooting is to destroy any evidence that would reveal that the shooting was fake. The walls and floors would contain irrefutable proof that an actual shooting either happened or did not happen. If an actual shooting did not occur, those responsible would want to ensure that they destroy the single exhibit (the school) that proves that the shooting was a hoax.

Indeed, that is the very thing that was done after the alleged mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. The shooting allegedly happened on December 14, 2012 and the Sandy Hook Elementary School remained closed and under tight security until its demolition began on October 25, 2013.
