Say What???

The entire article is here:

But this is the paragraph that still has my brain spinning.

Quote:

According to prosecutors, associates of some of the arrested traffickers have been killed in shootings in King County. Some of the defendants were recorded on wiretaps discussing the shootings and planning to obtain guns.

Why arrest someone who has already been killed?:confused: How on earth does this level of incompetence ever get by an editor?:confused:
