SEATTLE - Gun violence is spiking in the city of Seattle-- six separate incidents happened in the last two weeks, and half of them were deadly.

Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz announced on Friday that he's creating a task force in an effort to stop the violence.

Diaz said they're pulling every resource they have to make this task force work. There is no additional budget, and they're not adding anyone to the force. He said they're going to be moving people around from different departments.

Ideally, he wants more cops, but this is what they have to work with.
