Columbine Memorial
The Columbine Memorial was built as a place to honor the victims but also as a place for contemplation and healing. The interior of the memorial is an oval stone outer wall, known as the Wall of Healing which is softened by a grove of trees in the center and native plants around the edges.
Virginia Tech Memorial
The Virginia Tech Memorial consists of 32 limestone square stones, each engraved with a victim's name, arranged in a semi circle. The memorial was inspired by the actions of students hours after the shooting. They had assembled Hokie Stones, limestone native to the region, for each of the victims in the half circle.
Aurora Theater memorial
The Aurora Theater victims are remembered by a sculpture piece, Ascentiate, that features 83 large metal birds at the Aurora City garden in Colorado. The memorial pays tribute to 13 people who were killed and 70 who were injured in a mass shooting on July 20, 2012, at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Memorial
An Asian-style wooden temple with a spire, called the Temple of Time, was built as a memorial for victims of a Florida high school mass shooting. Friends and loved ones left notes, photos and mementos inside the temple on an empty lot about 10 minutes from the school in Coral Springs, Florida.
Mandalay Bay village
MGM Resorts International announced in September that a community center and parking lot will be built on a five-acre plot where 58 people were killed on Oct. 1, 2017.
