An Ethiopian immigrant who brandished a loaded handgun and threatened to shoot another driver over a “minor traffic infraction” in Calgary, failed in his bid to convince a judge to shorten his sentence to prevent deportation.

Alberta Court of Justice A.J. Brown rejected defence counsel’s request for house arrest and instead sentenced 27-year-old Thomas Kahsay Berhe to three years in prison for the “extreme dangerousness” of his crimes.
