The accused was found guilty of 10 counts related to discharging a firearm at a crowded shopping mall on Boxing Day, striking the victim in the foot.
The Crown sought a 10-year global sentence, while the defence sought 7 years.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence, noting the extreme recklessness of the act, but acknowledged the lack of serious injury and the accused's relatively young age.
The court imposed a global sentence of 8 years imprisonment, consisting of 7 years for the shooting and 1 year consecutive for possessing a firearm while prohibited, less 2.5 years credit for pre-sentence custody.
