Just feet away from Sprague Elementary School in Waterbury, a shooting range is slated to open, and parents and school officials are not happy about it.

“We teach our kids to stay away from guns and to never play with them, now they are going to put in a shooting range next to a school,” Lisa Lessard said. “We are giving our kids a mixed message."

The Waterbury Zoning commission recently approved plans to put a firing range in the basement of a building next door to the school.

Outraged parents are now firing off rounds of e-mails and letters to the city about it.
