Seattle's interim police chief has come under fire for referring to known gun-violence suspects as 'trigger pullers' while discussing three shootings that left three people dead and others injured over roughly 24 hours.
Interim Chief Andre Sayles used the phrase during a 7 September news conference about the Seattle Police Department's response to the violence in Belltown. The wording sparked ridicule from critics who asked why he did not simply use 'shooters'.
