Man sentenced to 13 years for arsons, shootings

A man who targeted 15 families with firebombings and shootings because he thought they had links to a training centre for emergency responders in British Columbia has been sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison. Vincent Cheung, 43, of Langley, pleaded guilty last week to 18 of 23 charges stemming from attacks in 2011 and 2012. Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen said from the bench on Wednesday that, while Cheung’s motives were rooted in delusions, his response was “very real and very dangerous.”
