The Idaho House on Thursday widely approved a bill to make death by firing squad the main death penalty method in Idaho.

If passed into law, Idaho could become the only state to have death by firing squad as the primary death penalty method.

Only five states allow firing squads for executions. But the firing squad isn’t the primary death penalty method in any of those states, a spokesperson for the Death Penalty Information Center told the Idaho Capital Sun.

After less than 10 minutes of debate, the Idaho House approved House Bill 37 on a 58-11 vote Thursday.
