Seattle City Council Presses Mayor Katie Wilson Over Police Chief Exit, Shooting Response

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is facing growing pressure from City Council members over unanswered questions surrounding the city's response to the deadly Bite of Seattle shooting. Three people were killed and several others injured in the shooting, but it took roughly five hours before Seattle officials held their initial press conference. Council members are now questioning why the delay occurred and why they still haven't received a clear explanation. Mayor Wilson has asked Seattle's Office of Inspector General to conduct a thorough review of the response. But during a City Council public safety meeting, Councilman Dan Strauss expressed frustration over the lack of information surrounding both the shooting response and Wilson's decision to ask former Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign. Strauss argued that clearer and more transparent communication could have prevented much of the controversy now surrounding the mayor's office. We break down the growing Seattle City Hall fallout and the questions officials still want answered. #Seattle #SeattleNews #SeattlePolitics #KatieWilson #MayorKatieWilson #SeattlePolice #SPD #SeattleCrime #SeattleShooting #BiteOfSeattle #PublicSafety #SeattleCityCouncil #ShonBarnes #DanStrauss #WashingtonNews #WashingtonPolitics #WashingtonState #CenterSquare #WashingtonInFocus
