Seattle mayor bans guns on city property

SEATTLE —

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels has signed an executive order that asks all departments to come up with a plan within 30 days to ban guns at all property owned by the city.

The mayor's office says a public hearing will be held to gather comment on Monday's order but it does not require city council approval.

Nickels says the added gun restriction is needed because of a shooting at last month's Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center that wounded two people.

Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske (ker-lih-KOW'-skee) says the mayor's order will help protect people at civic events.
