HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - When the old Sandy Hook Elementary School is demolished, building materials will be pulverized on site and metal will be taken away and melted down in an effort to eliminate nearly every trace of the building where a gunman killed 26 people last December.

Contractors also will be required to sign confidentiality agreements and workers will guard the property's perimeter to prevent onlookers from taking photographs or videos.

The goal is to prevent exploitation of any remnants of the building, Newtown First Selectman E. Patricia Llodra said Tuesday.

"We want to be absolutely certain to do everything we can to protect the privacy of the families and the Sandy Hook community," she said. "We're going to every possible length to eliminate any possibility that any artifacts from the building would be taken from the campus and ... end up on eBay."

1. those poor, dear people...may they be spared from further agony...

even tho the gun enthusiasts had to have the prospect of the ire of the nation brought down on them if they hadn't postponed their "Guns save lives" day on the anniversary of Newtown. They are unspeakable.

Mercifully, our state will enforce decency in this tear down effort. thank god for these small favors...
