Christopher Alan Toppenberg, 63
Michigan
"A man who shot and killed two friends on New Year's will serve a year in jail and three years of probation after pleading guilty in June"
( He was given credit for 167 days already served.)
"Christopher Toppenberg, 62, of Lawrence Township, was initially charged with two counts of second degree murder and two counts of felony firearm, but those charges were dismissed when Toppenberg pled guilty to a single charge of discharging a firearm under the influence of liquor or a controlled substance and causing death... "
Toppenberg was arrested in January for killing 40-year-old Jason McCreary of Sutter Creek, California, and 35-year-old David Reed of Waverly Township after firing 20-25 celebratory shots from an AR-15.
The shooting happened just after midnight Sunday, Jan. 1, on 60th Avenue near County Road 681 in Lawrence Township. A small group of people shot off fireworks when Toppenberg started firing the gun, according to the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office."
