The Sahuarita Police Department is deeply apologetic for the incident that occurred at the Marana Shooting Club facilities involving our officers, which resulted in a stray bullet striking the Gladden Farms Community Park playground equipment earlier today.
We have begun to conduct an internal investigation and will take prompt, appropriate administrative action for any of our officers found to be neglectful in their firearm safety measures. The department will act swiftly to implement any needed corrections and will look for opportunities to implement additional training for our officers.
We are thankful that there were no injuries connected to this event. Our department takes full responsibility for the conduct of our officers, and we will cooperate fully with all investigating agencies to continue to invest in important safety measures for our region.
