No they catch him and then let him go with no charges.

Next week maybe one of them will come back to my neighborhood to shoot up a funeral like last time nothing was done about a criminal firing an illegal gun. That was in my area, terrified my poor mother who lives very close to where the funeral was, terrified me and my family. Hopefully they stop letting people go. Yet on one of these other posts about the jail, people mentioned going to jail over the stupidest stuff like a few parking tickets. But shoot with a not legally owned firearm? Sure! Be free! WTF is going on in the world.

You would be very surprised my friend. Maybe not no charges but back on the streets in months with another likely illegal gun? Yup, bet on it.

With a good lawyer, yea they will. Did police identify themselves, properly? If not the defendndant was possibly justified in self defense.
We could play reddit court room all day. I've spent enough time in criminal courts to know this is a least dropped to a plea.
They won't even sniff an attempted murder charge.
Illegal discharge of a firearm, assault of a police officer and any other ticky tacky shit they can add. All of which will be plead down to assault on an officer.
That holds a max 40yr sentence with no minimum. Really doubt dude gets 40 on a plea. Probably 15 with parole eligibility after 10. Again, assuming prosecution actually has the evidence they need. Innocent until proven guilty.
But that's in a perfect world. I got caught up with drugs, cop never showed to any court dates and everything was dropped. I wasn't a small fish. The world isnt perfect.

Ah, yes. You know my life. Just like you know everything that happened downtown last night. My apologies for crossing you, you all knowing being.

It’s a teenager. Where would they put him to begin with? They will let him off like they did with the Kennywood shooter.
