. Last year 18 officers left the local department and 1 officer so far this year.

The guns were stolen during a burglary at the State Department of Fish and Wildlife offices in the 1700 block of South 24th Avenue.

Capt. Jay Seely says officers were called to the Yakima Inn at 1022 North 1st Street at 10:38 pm Tuesday for a shooting.

The new bill introduced last month by Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview is aimed at the growing crime of catalytic converter thefts in Washington State.

Capt. Jay Seely says right now only patrol officers are handling traffic issues but patrol officers are also in short supply.

The patrols are underway in the Yakima Valley and throughout the state. Statewide, more than 75 local law enforcement agencies are adding dedicated patrols.

You can still donate to help the officer and his family.

Seely says now patrol officers in Yakima have been asked to "be mindful of this collision-causing behavior and either cite or educate where appropriate."

. Yakima County Coroner Jim Curtice says 95 people have died of overdoses, up from 87 nearly two weeks ago.

The man shot hasn't yet been identified

Was it a gang shooting? Police say the gang unit is now investigating.

From home burglaries to vehicle thefts, Yakima Police know property crime increases during the holiday season.
