SALT LAKE CITY – Some Utah lawmakers want to allow firing squads to execute prisoners again to avoid problems with lethal injection drugs.
The proposal from Republican state Rep. Paul Ray would call for a firing squad if Utah cannot obtain the drugs 30 days before a scheduled execution.
Ray says he thinks it's the most humane way to kill someone because an inmate dies instantly.
An interim committee approved the idea Wednesday, but lawmakers must sign off in their session next year.
