I’m a nervous person already. She’s in her twenties. I already worry,” Kernan said. “So we done the things we know will reset our public safety ecosystem, starting last summer with an emergency crime bill and most recently, just a couple of months ago, with a new crime bill that will really reset our public safety ecosystem.”

During the barricade, officers found 21-year-old Jordan Coates fatally shot outside of her apartment building nearby. Bowser defended her administration's crime-fighting strategy, saying she is seeing changes throughout Washington.
