Mayor Lisa Brown issued the following statement Monday:
“I am saddened by the recent occurrences of violence and officer-involved shootings in the City of Spokane. These situations are tragic for everyone involved.
Each of these instances leave a profound impact and highlight the many challenges our community is facing. A top priority for my Administration is connecting those who are at-risk or in crisis with the resources they need before the situation escalates and threatens their safety, as well as the safety of community members and our officers.
I have been in steady communication with Chief Lundgren over the past few weeks and am monitoring these situations closely.
Together, we are committed to transparency in the process of reviewing these shootings and working together to prevent these incidents from occurring in the future.”
