NEW: Gun battles and pimp wars have escalated near Aurora Ave N. in Seattle. That's why elected officials are now caving to community pressure to take immediate action. Mayor Katie Wilson is shutting down streets between 96th and 102nd to limit shootouts and escape routes for fleeing vehicles. City Attorney Erika Evans says she wants a prosecutor focused exclusively on Aurora to implement so-called Extreme Risk Protection Orders(ERPO,) which would remove firearms from an individual before charges are filed. But Councilmember Bob Kettle says enforcing prostitution and drug laws already on the books would be critical in this public safety fight. Kettle even offered to work on revising the Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution(SOAP) ordinance that Evans refuses to enforce. She says it doesn't work.
