This footage shows people taking part in a Christmas-themed game event organised by their local Sheriff’s Office to raise donations for a new homeless centre.

Participants can be seen lining up to join the festive Steel Challenge Reindeer Game Event in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, USA.

Locals looked like they were having the time of their lives as they were guided towards the shooting range and fired at targets while being timed by a deputy dressed as an elf.

Newsflash obtained the images from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office along with a short statement saying: “The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office is grateful to all the sponsors and participants in this year’s Reindeer Games Steel Challenge!

“Thanks to all of you, we raised USD 2,000 [GBP 1,700] for Providence House- Shreveport, a residential development centre for homeless families with children.”

The statement listed the challenge’s various winners and runners-up, with Barbara Watts taking the number-one spot in the overall 2022 Reindeer Games.
