BEND, Ore. (AP) - A man has been convicted and sentenced to more than eight years behind bars for shooting two people on a street in Bend last year.
Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said Tuesday that 24-year-old Walter Owen Henneke was convicted of two counts of assault in the first degree and one count of unlawful use of a weapon.
Hummel said Henneke apparently was upset that a group of people were noisy as they passed his house early on April 24. A fight ensued. Hummel said after it ended, Henneke came out of his house and opened fire with his semi-automatic rifle, hitting two people and causing serious injuries.
A court sentenced Henneke to 100 months in prison and ordered him to pay $35,000 restitution to the victims.
