PHOENIX, Ariz.—Phoenix City Council members rescinded on Sept. 26 an ordinance donating hundreds of firearms to national police in Ukraine to help reduce gun violence in Phoenix.

“I continue to be extremely, extremely disappointed that current state law prevents us from making our own decision,” council vice-chairwoman Yassamin Ansari said before the council voted 8-0 to repeal the June 28 ordinance.
