Vancouver man sentenced for manslaughter in 2020 incident
A man who told police he was “joking around” with his girlfriend when he fatally shot her in the head has been sentenced to four years in prison for manslaughter with an additional six months for possessing a rifle without a licence.
The decision says Brown initially told police that Loeffler had shot herself accidentally while the pair were smoking marijuana and playing around with the gun, but he later admitted he “only pointed the gun at her head for a split second.” The decision by Judge Gregory Rideout outlines some mitigating factors, including Brown’s young age, lack of criminal record and family support.
