EDC district apologizes for raffling off an AR-15
By Ellen Garrison, Sacramento Bee
The Cameron Park Community Services District issued a statement Monday apologizing for raffling off an AR-15 rifle at a weekend fundraiser for its fire department.
Some attendees of the Cameron Park Fire Fighters Association’s annual crab feed on Feb. 17 had said they were upset to find the firearm included among the raffle items. The same type of weapon was used in the recent school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead.
“The district deeply apologizes for this insensitivity to the youth and families affected by the horrific event in Florida and other mass shootings,” the district’s board said in a statement.
