The man who shot a transit cop in Surrey on the platform of the Scott Road SkyTrain station was sentenced Wednesday in Surrey provincial court.
According to court documents, Daon Gordon Glasgow, 37, was sentenced to seven years and 301 days for discharging a firearm with intent to wound or disfigure, five years for having a loaded prohibited weapon, seven years for unlawfully discharging a firearm, seven years for aggravated assault, and a lifetime ban on possessing firearms. The sentences are concurrent, that is, to be served at the same time and not one after another.
Last October Glasgow was found not guilty of attempted murder in the Jan. 30, 2019 shooting of Constable Josh Harms.
Harms, 27, was shot twice 鈥� once in his right arm, and once in his left hand 鈥� with a 9mm handgun. A surgeon removed the bullet from his arm. His hand sustained significant but not catastrophic damage and he eventually returned to duty.
Glasgow had been on mandatory release from prison on a Surrey manslaughter conviction at the time the trigger was pulled in the SkyTrain station shooting.
