PACIFICA – The burning of a Pride flag in Pacifica at an elementary school earlier this month is being investigated as a hate crime, police said Friday.
Pacifica police were called to an after-school program on the campus of Sunset Ridge Elementary School on Inverness Drive at 2:08 p.m. on June 6, after a Pride flag was discovered missing from outside a classroom.
