VANDERHOOF — The Vanderhoof man who fired shots at the town’s RCMP detachment two years ago has been handed a 10-year prison sentence.
Paul Russell was sentenced to 8-and-a-half years for unlawful discharge of a firearm and mischief endangering life and a year-and-a-half for fleeing police.
Including credit for time served prior to his sentencing, Russell must serve just over 7 years in connection to the shooting that occurred on November 25, 2021.
RCMP at the time said Russell fired multiple rounds at the RCMP detachment and police vehicles. There were over a dozen employees working at the detachment when the shooting occurred.
