A Whitehorse man has been sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison for various crimes including attempting to murder a Mountie.
With time served, 33-year-old Chris Cornell will spend eight years behind bars.
Yukon Supreme Court Justice Leigh Gower also imposed long-term offender status and supervision for 10 years after Cornell is released.
He was found guilty last month of attempted murder for shooting at an RCMP officer during a high-speed chase in September 2011.
Cornell was also convicted of attempting to murder a deputy conservation officer who was with the Mountie during a response to a break-in at a store in Haines Junction. (CKRW, Whitehorse Star)
