PASCO — A central Washington man has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for opening fire on five police officers in his Pasco basement.
The Tri-City Herald reports that 32-year-old Edwin Espejo received the sentence Friday in Franklin County Superior Court.
A jury convicted Espejo last month of three counts of first-degree attempted murder and one count of illegal gun possession.
Pasco police officers responded to domestic violence call in 2017. Authorities say Espejo fired seven shots from a .45-caliber handgun but missed.
