A man who shot and killed his friend while the victim was wearing a bulletproof vest as part of a “game” the pair had played before has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Adam Steenbergen from Sooke, B.C., pleaded guilty to several charges, including manslaughter, after Michael Leier died, and lawyers for both sides asked that he receive the mandatory minimum sentence.
