The 21 students on the rifle team at Stroudsburg High School in Stroudsburg, Pa., were using guns from the 1970s. “Rifle practice helps me calm down and de-stress,” rifle team member Isabelle Strauch said, according to the Pocono Record. One school board member called it “blood money.”“The kids were very upset, and I was upset myself,” rifle team coach Mike Qendro told WNEP. By early Thursday, a GoFundMe page for the rifle team had raised $10,185. The teen charged in the Parkland shooting, Nikolas Cruz, had been on a school rifle team that received NRA funding.
