Oh my bad. I thought OP's quotes were the whole article. It does say he shot at people later in the night. Either way he clearly needs mental help, not to rot in prison for life.
Right. I don't think he was really trying to shoot someone, or he would have shot someone. Reckless engagement is probably a more accurate charge than attempted murder.
The article doesnt make any mention of their criminal record. If this is a first offence its heavy handed, if this is the 3rd time he has shot at people I care a whole lot less.
If it's his third time, then the system failed to give him the proper help at least twice as well.
