The accused, a young person sentenced as an adult, pleaded guilty to break and enter, discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life, and possession of restricted firearms.
The offences involved a home invasion where a neighbour was shot, and a separate incident where another victim was shot at a party.
The court considered the principles of sentencing under the Criminal Code and the Youth Criminal Justice Act, emphasizing deterrence, denunciation, and the accused's rehabilitative potential.
The accused was sentenced to 20 months' custody in addition to 52 months' credit for pre-sentence custody, followed by three years' probation.
