(KNZA)--A jury has found a Leavenworth man facing a charge of attempted first-degree murder in connection with the 2015 shooting of another man guilty of a lesser included offense of aggravated battery.
According to a press release from the Leavenworth County Attorney’s Office, the verdict was returned Thursday in the case of 30-year-old James Thompson whose trial began Monday.
Thompson was also found guilty of aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle and aggravated child endangerment.
Thompson was convicted of shooting Jeffrey Williams in the chest on August 28th, 2015 following a vehicle collision on 10th Avenue in Leavenworth. Williams survived the shooting.
The aggravated child endangerment charge was related to Williams' 2-year-old son who was in one of the vehicles at the time of the shooting.
