Idaho lawmakers are considering turning to a firing squad as an alternative to lethal injection after eight botched attempts to find a vein to administer the chemicals on a death row inmate Wednesday.  

Last year, the state approved legislation authorizing the firing squad execution method only when lethal injection wasn’t available. After Wednesday’s events, Rep. Bruce Skaug (R-ID), who sponsored the bill, told Local News 8 he wanted to amend the law to permit a firing squad as a plan B in scenarios like Creech’s where lethal injection is unsuccessful.
