Deadly Seattle shooting could impact gun laws in 2020 legislative session

The most recent shooting in downtown Seattle could have an impact on what laws get passed in Olympia this year, lawmakers said Thursday.

The shooting Wednesday night in Seattle that left one person dead and seven others injured came up during a floor debate on the state's House of Representatives Thursday.

Democratic Rep. Tana Senn brought up the shooting as she spoke in favor of her bill to allow the Washington State Patrol the ability to destroy seized weapons. Currently, WSP has to either store or sell those weapons.

Senn said WSP fears what would happen if one of the weapons ends up back on the streets.
