Shooters sentenced

Two men who went on a drive-by shooting spree earlier this year have received the maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.

Christian Johnston and Jason Atkins, both 24, were convicted of shooting at occupied residences during the five-hour episode on March 12. No one was injured.

Defense attorneys argued for leniency, stating that both men were alcoholics and were under the influence when they committed the crime.

The case got caught up in the ongoing controversy over the job performance of District Attorney Paul Gallegos. Leaders of a fledgling recall movement say Gallegos' failure to slap multiple charges on Johnston and Atkins is proof that he is soft on crime. Gallegos says the charges fit the crime.
