Lt. Curt Massey Memorial Shoot

[bigger hammer]

In the early morning hours of January 28, 2009 Lt. Curt Massey of the Culver City (California) Police Department was killed in a fiery crash by a wrong way driver on the I-10 freeway. Curt gave much of his personal time to the department and the community, working with disadvantaged kids and for years, nearly single-handedly, ran the Santa Claus Sleigh that visited the streets in town in the weeks before Christmas giving children the opportunity to give their wish list to Santa. Curt is survived by his wife and three children.



The Culver City Police Officers Assn. is sponsoring a shoot to honor Curt's memory and to help the family. This is a friendly competition that will take place at the Angeles Shooting range in Lake View Terrace, CA. Entry fees includes one raffle ticket. If you're out of the area you can still participate by purchasing raffle tickets or making a donation. Raffle winners need not be present to win. All proceeds go to the family. You can purchase entries and raffle tickets, or make a donation to the family from this website.

How the heck was Taran Butler allowed to shoot? It's like having Lance Armstrong participate in local bicycle race!

The turnout was great for the Massey Shoot. Thanks to Culver City PD for putting on such a great event. Hope to see it again next year.

Actually it was the POA (Police Officer's Association) that put the shoot on.

We had an excellent turnout, about 260 shooters. The event was taken on by two members of the Department, Officer Chris Horii and Reserve Officer Ted Yant. Over $18,000 was raised for the family.

Right now only the top three shooters in each category are listed on the site, www.masseyshoot.org but as soon as Chris and Ted catch up with their neglected families all the shooters will be listed.

There were at least three photogs covering the event. Photos will be posted on the site soon.

Full results for all shooters (not just the top three for each category) are up on the Massey site now. www.masseyshoot.org
