SEATTLE — A 36-year-old man convicted of crimes he committed during a shooting rampage in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood in 2019 was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Tad Michael Norman pleaded guilty March 23 to second-degree murder, vehicular homicide, and three counts of first-degree assault. He was sentenced April 22, KING5 reported.
The rampage began after Norman walked out of an apartment and tried to carjack a vehicle. Police said he shot a 56-year-old female driver. She survived.
Then he walked into the street and shot into a Metro bus. The driver was shot in the torso, but managed to drive away from the gunman. The bus driver walked to medics for help. No passengers were hurt.
