Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- More than four years after gunshots rang out before dawn on a quiet college campus and stirred fears of a mass shooting, an Arizona man has been sentenced to six years in prison for killing a fellow student and wounding three others.

Standing before the judge in a blue jail-issued jumpsuit, Jones said it would be disrespectful to the victims and their family to talk about how he personally had been affected by the shooting. Most people thought it was a police officer or security guard's flashlight. No one thought it was a gun, although Jones said he announced it as such and told people to stand down before pulling the trigger and killing Brough.

Nick Prato was struck in the neck and suffered permanent nerve damage. Zientek was hit twice in the back, losing a kidney.Police arrived to a chaotic scene and separated people while they tried to determine whether there was another shooter. Jones told them he was solely responsible. Brough's mother, Claudia, described in court how she sank into a deep depression after her son died, withdrew from everyone and tried to end her own life.

Dan Bongino. U are so right about 60 minutes. Think I’ll stop watching. Lots of half-truths!

6 years? He should recieve at least life

6 fucking years? If he was black he would be given three life sentences with no remission!

Arizona is a mess

Six years? That's enough time to get the bureaucratic sentence out of the way and make room for some street justice

6 years? That’s all you get? Wow. That’s really scary. There are some people that may think 6 years is worth it to rid something they hate in their lives.

I WAS HOPING A HUMAN LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN SIX FKING YEARS IN PRISON AND LIFE IS REALLY CHEAP IN AMERICA

1st degree because it was pre-meditated. he’s not mentally ill because he would have been given the plea. intent to kill was shown when he went into his car and grabbed his gun. maybe it was a lesser charge because of the circumstances ? unsure on all the facts but 6 years ? cmon

Arizona’s gone liberal. More to come. Maybe Kim Foxx can run for SA after she’s ousted from Crook county? Anything goes. He woulda got time served.

He can say he supports Trump and get community service.

But dems thought Roger Stone should get 7-9 years for a non violent crime! Laughable

A white man gets six years for killing people and a black man gets 12 years for having a mobile phone in prison? White privilege.

6yrs for murder and injuring another. Yet the do nothing radical deep state judges will want to send a 69yrs old man to 9yrs in prison for lying. I can’t just rap it around my head

6 years That will show him!!

Come on now six yearsWTF

6 years

This is totally insane! How in the works is the sentence so small. This is why it keeps happening because there are no ramifications or serious consequences

Damn. I guess I can kill a lot more people than I thought

6 years wtf !!! Did I read that correctly!! 😡😡😡😡

And Roger Stone gets 7-9 years.

Just 10 years total? I wish I had a super power...

Six years?!

Why only 6 years should be life

6 yrs for murder? Why do people with drug offenses get many more years?

Six years for a terrorist murder? What, is he a white cop?

And a women of color in TX gets five years for voting because of the way the felon voting laws are written. But he only murdered one guy so one extra year above her sentence seems appropriate 🙄/🤬🤬🤬

6? Shouldn’t it be 6 0 ?

I'm sorry what?! Should there be a 4, 5, or 9 before that suix.... ohhh that's right.. he's white.. makes sense.. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

6 years! I don’t even want to read “why.” Every parent needs to impress upon their children - just how precious life is, just how permanent death is, & how to care for themselves mentally, physically, & spiritually. Your kids are at home about 18 years. Make use of each day.

S-I-X? WTF? Is that how much a life if worth in time? Really?

6years Wtf

Only six years 😡🤬

6 years! The system is rigged! And they want to give a liar 6 to 9 years. Don’t like stone but lying gets more time, than killing. Overhaul of the system plz

That all 😡

WTF? Six years? Why isn't this 25 to LIFE?

Why only six years? Is that the sum worth of those he killed?!!!

wow....punishment doesn't fit crime.....

Trump will listen to the NRA and pardon him.

That's all a life is worth?

Sounds about white. Welcome to white is right

Sounds about white

Only 6 years for killing someone! Why?

6 years?!? For murder?!? Holy shit.

6!? TF!

We have elected officials who commit crimes on a daily basis wlaking around free. This is America.

Disgusting!

So he gets punched and ran back to his car to get a gun and then went back to the house? How does that not show intent right there?

just 6 years

Only 6 years. ?!?!

Unacceptable simply unacceptable

6!?

MeghanMcCain No comment?

What kind of punishment is that!!!

Only 6 years. Than he’ll back out to do it again..

And prosecutors want Roger Stone to get 9? Lmfao. No bias there.

Only six years for murder? Good thing he didn't cheat on his taxes, they would have put him away for life!

6 years?

What a Joke .... so you can Murder someone and only get 6 yrs !!!!

I bet he won’t even serve that

Wow!! He only got six years for taking someone’s life! Disappointing! I just don’t understand.

Unbelievable

Should get more time in jail, people don't realize how dangerous it is to get shot, one woman had got shot today she is dying from lead poisoning from the bullets they can't remove, enough WITH THE GUN VIOLENCE!!!

Guns tho am I right? Lmaooo what a joke

This makes me sick!!!! I cannot even formulate the words I want to say. speachless

And Roger Stone was to get 7-9 years. This is all messed up.

He had home arrest the last 4 years and now 6 for this? Who are his parents? They must have some real pull in that town.

6 years Ha what a joke...sounds about white

And some people are on life sentences for selling weed.

Smdh. So sad. Why prosecutors would accept a lesser charge of manslaughter? Clearly it was pre-meditated. He does get an additional 15yrs for the 3 assault charges. Still, that’s not enough.

Thank goodness the judge was a Democrat. If it was a Republican judge, he may have faced jail for life. Or even the death penalty, God for bid

So weak the Character who resorts to likes of gunning down innocents etc. when they themselves are obviously too weak to stand upon their own feet themselves & face a reality.. they obviously hate ... seems to me..

6yrs? WTF! Is that all a murderer gets in AZ for killing another person, ridiculous & unjust.

6 years sounds low considering he killed 1 and injured 3. Is human life so cheap

6 years. What the hell. How about life.

Hell, they wanted to give Roger Stone more than that on that trumped up Mueller bull crap.

Now, imagine if he was black, or hispanic, or muslim... or anything not 'white', for that matter.

4 years later? only 6 years? and people have to ask what's wrong with our judicial system? this is pathetic.

Meanwhile a black women in Texas is serving 5 years for mistakenly voting in an election.

...six? SIX?

6 years Sounds about White

I bet he is a Bernie supporter....

6 years - now who is his parents 🤔

Only 6 years? WTH!

6 years? There are two justice systems in this country. The racist one and this one.

But Roger Stone gets nine.

But Roger Stone gets 7-9 yrs! This is freaking crazy as hell!

Hmmm guess you can kill anyone in AZ and get away with it

But Roger stone should be sentenced to 9 years for a process crime and he's a first offender. Ok got it.

Only 6 years!!!
