Arizona lawmakers consider reinstating the firing squad as a death penalty method because of issues with lethal injections. House committee passed a relevant bill, which now progresses through the legislature.

Supporters of the bill focused their arguments on efficiency, while some opponents cite a lack of data could bring potential litigation.

Arizona's House committee advances a bill proposing firing squads for executions, citing flaws in the lethal injection process.

On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee members voted 6-3 to advance HB 37, a bill which would replace lethal injection with death by firing squad as Idaho’s primary execution method for death row inmates. Currently, the firing squad is Idaho’s secondary method.
