Mayor Katie Wilson's office says the King County prosecutor was "engaged" in her gun violence plan and gave a quote "related" to it. But the prosecutor's office says they first learned about the plan by watching it on TV. Two words. Big difference. @LukeKIRO breaks down The Spin.

Two days after we broke the news @MayorofSeattle Wilson did not share her gun-violence plan with key stakeholders... prosecutors, community and victim advocate groups, etc. She may not be reaching out to stakeholders to help implement it either? More on @KIRONewsradio today

Add @SeattleCouncil Public Safety Chair Bob Kettle to the list of stakeholders blindsided by @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson's gun violence plan last week. Kettle, the @KCProsecutor, and US Attny all learned about it watching TV. More on @KIRONewsradio and @Mynorthwest

KIRO News Radio has uncovered a striking contradiction in how @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson’s office presented support for her new gun-violence plan. The mayor sold it as a coordinated effort. The King Co Prosecutor and US Attny say they didn't know anything about it - tune it!

Have you heard about these? Apparently they're in collaboration with the @MayorofSeattle's office. Are they official @CityofSeattle meetings? #gunviolence #guns More on @KIRONewsradio and @Mynorthwest
