Montana man who shot at a woman’s house with an assault-style weapon as part of a plan to rid his town of LGBTQ+ people was sentenced to 18 years in prison, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
He intended to carry out “a targeted mass shooting” that he hoped would inspire similar attacks around the country, Justice Department attorneys said in a statement.
“Motivated by hatred of the LGBTQI+ community and armed with multiple firearms and high-capacity magazines, this defendant sought to intimidate — even terrorize — an entire community by shooting into the victim’s home trying to kill her for no reason other than her sexual orientation,” Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director Steven Dettelbach said in the statement.After firing multiple rounds at the woman’s property, officials said, Howald headed for other homes.
Howald was convicted by a federal jury of a hate crime involving an attempt to kill and of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence in February, after a four-day trial. He was sentenced Wednesday by District Judge Brian M. Morris; the 18-year prison term is to be followed by five years of supervised release.
