DESCRIPTION
New public records are raising questions about the guns involved in the July 26 Seattle shooting and the city's response to the deadly incident. The Center Square investigative reporter TJ Martinelli joins Greg Bishop on The States to discuss records obtained through public records requests. The records indicate that a Glock recovered after the shooting was potentially connected to weapons involved in previous cases. Investigators had not confirmed those connections, making further examination necessary. The conversation also examines reports of multiple weapons recovered at the scene, potential suspects who remained at large, and questions surrounding the delayed press conference following the shooting. Martinelli discusses additional records involving communications among Seattle and state officials, as well as broader questions surrounding illegal firearms, juvenile access to guns and the enforcement of existing gun laws in Washington state. The reporting raises questions about what happened before and after the shooting and how officials handled the crisis. What questions do you think still need to be answered? Let us know in the comments.
