GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — The Georgetown Police Department hosted a shooting competition at its range on West Yusen Way, serving as a fundraiser for the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, which supports community-police partnerships.
The event ran from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and charged participants a $50 entry fee that covered targets, ammunition, pistols and protective gear.
"The alumni, we really enjoy doing this, we love to work with the community. Because we do this to help the police department, to help the community," said Susan Daniel, the president of Georgetown police alumni.
Organizers said participants received safety briefings before shooting, and training pistols were provided for those new to guns.
