WCCO: Shooting Range Proposed Near Osseo Senior High School
Osseo superintendent would prefer to see it "located along another road."
Osseo Senior High School would be two blocks away from a new indoor shooting range and gun shop if a planned development gets City of Osseo approval, according to WCCO-TV.
Some in the area are enthusiastic about the project while others are worried about property taxes and the proximity to the school, WCCO-TV reported:

Osseo Superintendent Kate Maguire said the school’s concern is over the increased number of guns in the area, and who may be carrying those guns. She worries it could be a distraction for students and teachers.
“My preference would be that it would be located along another road some place,” she said. “In maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, the presence of weapons always makes that job more complex and difficult.”
There will be a hearing Monday night in Osseo to discuss the gun store and shooting range. Anyone is welcome to attend.
