Mo. Bill Would Allow Firing Squads for Executions
A response to issues with getting the drugs for lethal injections

The state currently puts inmates to death with injections of lethal drugs, although existing law also permits use of lethal gas — the method by which 39 people were executed from 1938 to 1965.
