A Las Vegas judge has sentenced Christopher McDonnell, 32, to 100 years in prison for his role in a two-state shooting spree on Thanksgiving 2020. The violent rampage involved multiple felonies, including murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, and illegal firearm possession.
McDonnell was part of a trio that carried out random shootings over an 11-hour period, leading to the death of a man in Nevada and a shootout with authorities in Arizona. In October, he pleaded guilty to more than 20 charges stemming from the attacks.
The sentence reflects the severity of the crimes, which caused widespread fear and disrupted communities across state lines. McDonnell’s convictions include weapon violations and offenses committed while he was already a felon.
