BATESVILLE, Arkansas -- A high school decided not to raffle off an AR-15 rifle just one week after the deadly school shooting in Florida.
The rifle was donated to Batesville High School in Arkansas to be used in a school fundraiser raffle.
After the shooting in Florida, the Batesville principal decided it wasn't the best idea to use the weapon in the raffle.
An AR-15 was used in the shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
"In light of recent events and in light of school safety, I would not endorse a gun as a fundraiser item," said Principal David Campbell.
The school says it will refund people who already bought tickets to the raffle or swap out the gun for a new item.
