Brett contacted KOMO & KING TV and South and East County Journal picked it up along with Tacoma News Tribune ... all talking abut the geese. Brett then showed a recording of the KOMO TV New article questioning the use of firearms around homes, business and schools. The Port needs to disperse information to the schools before shooting.
