Red Deer man sentenced to six years for shooting east of Olds

A Red Deer man has been sentenced to six years behind bars for a shooting east of Olds just under a year ago.

Lyle Robert Walter Vance, 28, pleaded guilty on Feb. 10 to discharging a firearm with intent, careless use of a firearm and possession of a prohibited firearm.

He was also ordered to submit a DNA sample, banned from owning firearms and is to serve his six-year term consecutively to another sentence he is serving.

It was on March 20, 2020 when Olds RCMP attended a property near Township Road 320 and Range Road 290 in Mountain View County and discovered a 47-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital by STARS with what were later determined to be non-life threatening injuries.

Mounties said at the time that they believed the incident was targeted and isolated.

Police investigation revealed that two men and one woman in an SUV attended the property where the victim and two other residents were present at the time. Mounties said a discussion over money and belongings became heated to the point where one of the men in the SUV shot the victim with a handgun. It’s alleged the shooter then fired additional shots at the other male resident on the property but did not strike him.

A preliminary hearing for Jessica McLintock, 33, of Calgary for her alleged involvement in the incident is slated for this April in Calgary.
