BEND, Ore. (AP) - A 21-year-old man whose wife was shot in the leg at an alcohol-fueled gathering in Sunriver has been sentenced to two weeks in jail.
The Bulletin reports (https://is.gd/VFPyhQ ) Mikhail Pitsul pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of pointing a firearm at another person and recklessly endangering another person.
The California man was among 10 people who rented a place in the Oregon resort community during the New Year’s holiday.
An argument broke out early Jan. 1, and he grabbed a gun to de-escalate the situation. A struggle ensued and someone pulled the trigger. The prosecution and the defense said it’s unclear who pulled the trigger.
Deschutes County Judge Beth Bagley told Pitsul that bringing out a gun never calms things down.
