Children in Missouri are selling raffle tickets for an assault rifle despite 17 people being killed by the weapon in the Parkland, Florida school shooting just last week.
The Neosho, Missouri youth are going to use the profits to support their baseball team.
Levi Patterson, who coaches the seven- to nine-year-old kids, told the Kansas City Star the fundraiser was planned before Nikolas Cruz allegedly used an AR-15 assault rifle to gun down 14 students and three adults at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on 14 February.
