Man gets 163 years in jail for shootings
A gunman who told emergency dispatchers to “follow the screams” before wounding seven in a shopping centre shooting rampage was sentenced to more than 160 years in prison.
Dominick Maldonado, 22, who was convicted on October 2 of 15 charges, including attempted murder, assault and kidnapping, was sentenced to just over 163 years in prison.
Four people were taken hostage during the November 20 2005, shooting spree that lasted for several hours at the Tacoma Mall, in Washington state.
During the trial, Maldonado’s defence said he was in the throes of a mental disorder.
