County grows 'no-shooting' zone after bullet just misses child

MONROE — Snohomish County leaders have enlarged a “no-shooting” zone in response to local residents’ concerns after a stray bullet narrowly missed a 4-year-old child on July 4.

The County Council voted 4-1, with Chairman Nate Nehring opposed, to pass an emergency ordinance barring shooting on two stretches of land just north and east of the city’s boundaries.

Shaken by the close call on July 4, area residents called on the council to approve the measure, saying it could save lives.

“I’m nervous to be gardening. I’m nervous to mow the lawn,” said Elly Britt. “This is absolutely in the best interest of the public to get this done so that we can all be in our backyards in peace and feel safe in our own homes.”

So Nate do you figure one should be able to shoot their gun where ever they darn well want?
