PACIFICA – The burning of a pride flag at a Pacifica elementary school is being investigated as a possible hate crime, police said.
The incident was reported at a city-operated after-school program at Sunset Ridge Elementary School on the afternoon of June 6, according to the Pacifica Police Department. Officers learned someone had removed a pride flag that was affixed outside a classroom. Police said the flag was found burned the following day on the other side of the campus.
