A Red Deer woman charged in a Woodlands County shooting four years ago has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail.
Amanda Britney Ann McCarthur, 25, was sentenced in Edmonton Court of King’s Bench on Sept. 17, 2026, after being convicted on counts of possession of prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition, and aggravated assault. She was also given a firearm prohibition during her sentencing.
McCarthur, however, was also given enhanced pre-trial credit of 411 days, reducing her sentence to less than two-and-a-half years.
It was on May 23, 2022, when Mayerthorpe RCMP were dispatched to the Mayerthorpe Health Centre after staff reported an adult male had been dropped off who was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Mounties say the male was transported to an Edmonton hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
