MONROE — Snohomish County leaders are considering an expansion of a “no-shooting” zone near the city after a stray bullet whizzed through a backyard cookout on July 4.

The measure, slated for a public hearing before the County Council on Wednesday, would enlarge the area to include two swaths of land just north and east of the city’s boundaries.

Councilman Sam Low introduced the emergency ordinance on Monday after meeting with residents this summer in the wake of the July 4 incident, which happened in the Eaglemont community.

The bullet flew past a 4-year-old girl and shattered a sliding glass door to the family’s home while they were celebrating the holiday with guests outside, said Elly Britt, who lives next door.
