Evv firefighter wins silver medal in rifle competition

An Evansville firefighter has won a silver medal in an international competition.

EFD spokesman Dan Grimm says firefighter Jonathan Sprinkle narrowly missed first place at last week’s World Police & Fire Games in Fairfax, Virginia.

Sprinkle’s medal was not for firefighting, but for shooting a gun. He competed in a 300-yard rifle competition and scored 535 out of 600 to take second place.

Sprinkle missed the gold by just 4 points.
